Colesbourne Park in Gloucestershire, was the home of Henry Elwes, who found Galanthus elwesii growing in Western Turkey in 1874. It is still in the Elwes family. The garden is open to the public on a few weekends in spring, just to see the snowdrops. It is acknowledged to be one of finest snowdrop gardens in Britain.See more here.... http://www.snowdrop.org.uk/ColesbourneSnowdrops.htm

After watching 148 inches of snow accumulate in our region this winter season, it was a joy to look out the laundry room window this morning and see patches of color scattered among the winter debris in the flower beds. Further examination revealed that the pussy willow bushes were in bloom too.
