Galanthomania in the US
J.E. Shields (Sun, 26 Feb 2012 06:19:30 PST)
Hi all,
No galanthomania in this neighborhood, but the chipmunks and/or field mice
do occasionally move a Galanthus bulb around. I suspect they dig them up
expecting to eat them, take one taste, and drop them where they stand. By
and large this probably does no harm, at least in my garden.

Hi,
The snow drop season is winding down here (North West England), in the
last month driving around the countryside I've seen hundreds of clumps
of snow drops in hedgerows and grass verges by the side of the road.
Presumably many are the result of people planting a few bulbs in random
places.
They remain unmolested by ebayers.
