On the way back from Bournemouth where we had been for GAN yesterday.
We were on the outskirts of Bath there was a garden with a great show
of Snowdrops by the roadside the garden had a wall of about 3 ft
holding the garden in place, and in the border along the roadside they
had a couple of dozen "Snowdrops" about 9 inches tall, single stem
flowers, looking for all the world like normal snowdrops except the
flowers were almost twice the size of normal snowdrops, almost an inch
long. Impressive.
Any ideas?

It might be Galanthus 'Lynn' or Galanhus 'Colossus', or one of the other
larger snowdrops. (If I understand correctly Galanthus 'Atkinsii' is the
commonest of the larger snowdrops.)

My neighbour has some but they look really fake. He's really into xmas
lights and led solars so it wouldn't surprise me to find out they are.

Hi Dave, Can you tell me what road you were on and what area near
Bath? Just curious.

Thanks for the link for Broadleigh Gardens
http://www.broadleighbulbs.co.uk/mis...nthusorder.htm
I've put an order in to them.

Pam You asked what road I was on, I am sure it was the A4 a couple of
miles before there is a T junction with trafic lights and Left is into
Bath and right to Bristol, they were on the left as we were heading
for Bath, (you can't miss it, it was where we were passed by 2 fire
engines and a fire service land rover towing an inflatable) Trafic was
slow to stationary so judging distance isn't so easy.
