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*!

Another 'recipe' for Instant Ikebana :~)
+ Take a large shallow dish
+ Add a piece of aesthetically worn driftwood
+ Put a few ( 3 or 5) snowdrops in a tiny container
+ Hide it with moss at the base of the driftwood

Take one large flat

In Bristol, by any chance? ;-))
