To continue the saga where Adrian Higgins left off, the Winterthur snowdrops
became rapidly submerged in the snow, and stayed that way for the rest of
the weekend. In consequence the groups I was supposed to show round in
conjunction with my lectures on Saturday & Sunday had a rather minimal
viewing of snowdrops...
The March Bank at Winterthur is indeed an amazing example of genuinely
naturalised bulbs - snowdrops, Leucojum vernum, Narcissus, Crocus, scilloid
things etc, but also some extraordinary patches of Adonis amurensis. Well
worth seeing in normal conditions!
