  1. They may have more pizzazz, but a carpet of snowdrops under an apple tree is pure elegance.

  2. Yes, but carpeted in a lawn or woodland, like bluebells is where they look best rather than straight-jacketed into borders.

    2. And they take a pop at crocuses just for fun. Who can blame them when faced with such perfection...
