Galanthophiles Are Gathering!

A couple of years ago, I learned the word galanthophiles - lovers of snowdrops. We went to Kingston Lacy in February 2018, and found dozens of other people enjoying these lovely little flowers.
We went again yesterday - and the flowers were lovely as ever, and the visitors were everywhere [some with very swish cameras!] 

There were swathes of bright white blooms all across the garden, making my two tiny clumps here in the Manse garden seem a little pathetic! 

We saw sheep in the nearby fields, their coats looking fluffy and warm, camellias bushes blooming, and many signs of spring.

Not all the flowers are snowdrops. 

We could not walk inside the Japanese Garden, so this picture  of blossoms and bamboo is from the NT website.The gardens at KL are particularly stunning right now. It was lovely to spend our afternoon off strolling outside enjoying Creation's beauty.

Do you remember M*A*S*H*  - a TV series which ran from 1972- 1983 about a US Mobile Army Surgical Hospital in the Korean War? The main female character was nicknamed "Hot Lips" Houlihan. Major Houlihan was a feisty nurse, played by Loretta Swit. 


I only mention this because I was trying to find an anagram for galanthophiles, and not succeeding. Apart from this one [which made Bob chuckle]
H-hot Lips Angela!
