Janet,

I have never tried snowdrops, so I'm not sure how well they'd perform here - but I can grow snowflakes!!! I had lots of them at the old house; haven't planted any here....YET. BTW look what my neighbor across the street is flying...!

Howdy Nery, good to see you! Thanks about the "guardians" hehehe....

I think I planted maybe a dozen on each side of several varieties - some are blooming and some are not. I think I planted about four varieties in that area, so there should be more blooming when those are finished. What I usually do is dig a round or oval hole and put the bulbs in so they'll bloom in "clusters" - I think it looks much better than the straight line effect. How many? Depends on the hole. Usually I plant in odd increments - 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 or 15.
