snowdrops
 

Half a mile from my house is a garden which has a narrow border round
the front garden, planted with rose bushes and snowdrops.
The snowdrops are well in bloom. Mine are not even showing leaf yet.
Can anyone tell me what variety this might be, or do I have to go and
knock on their door?
These are quite short, with wider than usual leaves. I have Elwesii
which have wide leaves and are tall, when they come up.
Is there a good reference site?

The man who is now the curator of The Garden House in Buckland Monachorum,
Devon, is a snowdrop expert. I think his name is Matthew Bishop. You could
perhaps, email him?

I believe some forms of Leucojums(snowflakes) flower very early. There has
been some reclassification (Acis)-so a Google on both might shed light on
these snowdrop look alikes.
