I have just read another article about snowdrops and think we must be obsessed. They are undoubtedly fine floral citizens and fully play their part in the winter garden with delicately pendulous flowers nodding gently amongst the leaf litter. Each year though they are given acres of column inches in the garden media, to the extent that you would be forgiven for having a sense of deja vu. A visitor from another country would assume that nothing else had flowered here for months such is the reverence that we bestow upon these little flowers.
