Schneeglöckchenbuch by Gunther Waldorf
One of nature’s most exquisite compositions, Snowdrops, bloom from melting snow cover just as winter ends. Their delicate white flowers hang down from crisp green stalks as their petals elegantly fight gravity to open and display their extraordinary markings.
Snowdrops can take several years to cultivate, and some varieties are so unusual that a single plant will sell for hundreds of dollars.
Gunther Waldorf has written a warm and engaging guide showcasing more than 300 snowdrops found throughout Europe, all in photos he shot himself.
Many of the varieties are not available in the United States due to European Union environmental protections, though similar snowdrops can be found stateside.
Gunther Waldorf’s “Snowdrops” is published by Frances Lincoln Limited, 2012.
As seen in Winter 2012 issue of Garden Design magazine.
