Hi Group
If I pick some snowdrops will these plants flower next year?
Anyone know.

If you just pick the flower on its stem, then they'll flower
again next year, but snowdrops as cut flowers don't last very long
indoors. Best left where nature intended them to be - out there in
the
cold and damp. :~)

You're right Tony, but they do bring a touch of Spring into the house.
It all depends how many you have in the garden......"~)

We had lunch with a friend yesterday who had one of those small square
'slab' vases with a tiny hole in the centre. She had 3 snowdrops and a few
leaves and they looked *sensational*!
