The
snowdrop collection at Colesbourne Park originated in the plantings
made by Henry John Elwes (1846-1922). In 1874 he had discovered Galanthus
elwesiis while travelling in western Turkey and he became one of
the prominent galanthophiles of his day. It is clear that he planted
widely, as the garden today contains large populations of snowdrops,
many of them hybrids, descended from those plantings. |
