Wendy's Gold

Kanyl is a bit of a galanthophile.   I was going today to give him a hand in the garden - weather permitting.  It turned out to be a lovely afternoon and after a quick trip to a local garden centre for onion and shallot sets we made a good start on "de-winterising" his garden.

Wandering round the garden looking for a blip I spotted this little beauty.   A rare variety of Galanthus pilcatus.  Developed in this country the bulbs were sent to Holland for mass production where they were promptly wiped out by disease.  Fortunately a few had been kept in this country so all was not lost.
