Glow in the Dark Snowdrops

While I am well aware how regularly snowdrops have feature on these pages before I cannot resit adding another note about their charms. especially after dark. The brilliance of their white petals can illuminate the garden at night. Sadly, we do not really get a good view from indoors but the fact the mossy bank were the snow drops appear is by the front door means that we do see them regularly. The porch light comes on when entering the house and this positively makes the snowdrops glow in the dark.

I would imagine virtually any garden would benefit from a small or large drift of "naturalized" snowdrops, particularly if they can be seen both during the day and after dark. They are also minimal effort to maintain once established. So they are a top tip for the labour saving gardener.
