The Bay Area of California is not entirely hopeless for snowdrops: Wayne
Roderick once took me to see a garden full of naturalised Galanthus elwesii
not far from his home in Orinda. I know that this is is on a ridge-top and
that Palo Alto is lower, but it was a remarkable sight.

We have still got about 6 individual snowdrop flowers open here at
Colesbourne, belated secondary flowers of no beauty, but still there.
