    Hello,

    I was curious if anyone knew where I could find the two plants I have mentioned above, in the lower mainland?

    Most garden centers should carry both, however snowdrops will most likely be found available in the fall as they blossom late winter/early spring.

    Not here
    Independent garden centers here sell both blooming in pots in season.

    yes - agree with earlier posts.

    1. snowdrops - buy the bulbs in Sept - Oct here in Greater Vancouver - plant accordingly. I find it takes a few years for them to establish and naturalize. Make sure the soil is rich, well-drained. I have not had much success in pots.

    2. forget me not - they are very easy to sow. Buy seeds that are mildew resistant. They self-sow freely so make sure you like them .
