This is an apology to Galanthus 'Madeline'. I recently publicly shamed you, nay, dissed you, for your non-appearance, I was wrong.
In my recent post The Uncovering I spoke about the joy of snowdrops emerging and said that whilst most of my snowdrops are Galanthus nivalis, that I do have a small number of more fancy snowdrops. I may have mentioned that Madeline , a growing memory of my visit to Thenford four years ago, was currently missing in action. I may have said it a bit more pejoratively than that. I may have been wrong.
For the next time I was talking to the small area of my garden where the 'special' snowdrops live I saw....
yep.....
you guessed it......
Sigh. So I apologise Madeline, you remain one of my top two snowdrops (I am hugely fond of Wasp too and I find it hard to choose between them). You will notice in the latter two photographs that I have labelled them quickly so I do not lose her again.
Aha, I then thought, Modern Art, yes, you, also bought from Thenford a year later - where are you?
Hmm, I think you are Modern Art,
I think the label has moved or you have so I have moved the label to be closer. Ok, all present and correct, move along here, nothing to see.....
Though I am now worrying that the label-moving fairy has been busy at work in the garden so I will have to find a suitable offering of appeasement. I wonder what the she would like.....?
