Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant'

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I am almost pain free again now so I’ve been able to start gardening again which has been great. It’s taken some time to catch up as it’s been neglected for six months but I’m finally getting there. My #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant have been glorious this year 🤍💚🤍

Pain free is goid!

Nice to see you 🤍 Glad things have improved for you

👋👋. Helloooo. Don't over do it though.

Absolutely 👍 @emch

Thanks Jason. It feels so good to be out there again 🥰 @hebelover

Hi Charlotte. Thanks, I won’t 🥰 @charlottege

So happy to hear this Jane. Take things easy but have fun in the garden 👍

Wonderful to know you are feeling better and able to tackle your garden again. Go slowly. 💗🙏

Oh, Jane, I can not find the size of these flowers. I am familiar with this variety. Everything just says they are larger than their smaller counterparts. What is the height of the flower?

Welcome back, Jane! I look forward to seeing more photos of your garden soon. Just remember to go slowly and take it easy!!! 😘😘

So lovely to hear from you Jane & so happy to know you are much more comfortable. Just take care of yourself especially 👋😘

Morning everyone. This is one of my favourite #aprilflowers 🤍💚🤍 #graveteye-giant #summer-snow-flake

Morning Jane .. love these 🤍

Morning Julie, they're so pretty 🤍 @juliesgarden

Morning John 👋 @johnnyuk

Oh one of my favourites too!

They are just so beautiful aren’t they Joan 🤍 @joanboston

Afternoon Jane, beautiful April flowers 🤍

They certainly are Jane

They look like little lampshades! 😆

Afternoon Elise, they certainly are 🤍 @Auricula

They do don't they 🤍 @waterlily

@pelly well that's something Jane. I'm going to sow some lettuce tomorrow. My butcher gave me a couple of trays, l did well with lettuce last year and cucumbers, keep trying with cucumbers Jane, it was my first time last year. 👍

Morning everyone. The #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant is in flower in the sunny border but nowhere near in the shady one yet 🤍

These are lovely Joan 🤍 I got some of these last year but they got damaged (I think a fox sat on them, or a cat) but they have come up quite weak this year. Hoping they recover as I didn’t even get any flowers

Oh that’s a shame Rich. Fingers crossed that you eventually get some flowers as they are so lovely 🤞 @richard.spicer.7906

How pretty 🤍🤍

Thanks Julie, I love them 🤍 @juliesgarden

They are really lovely

Such lovely flowers 🤍🤍

Afternoon Jane, every year I say I’m going to get some and every year I forget 🤦‍♀️

Thanks Joan and Diane, I agree 👍 @joannie.a @hkyfvr

Oh, you must try and remember this autumn 👍🤞 @Auricula

Very welcome Jane 🤍

Pretty

Morning everyone. I’ve never seen one of these flowers opened up like this, aren’t they just gorgeous 🤍💚🤍 Have a great day #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant

What a beauty, must try and get those I just have the shorter ones 😍

Morning Jane … love that 🤍🤍🤍💛

They’re well worth growing Sue and they last well too 👍 @churchfarmgarden

Morning Jane, they are beautiful aren’t they?

Morning Julie, it’s really sweet isn’t it 🤍 @juliesgarden

It is ☺️

They really are Joan 🥰 @joanboston

Bought one last week Jane then found the ones I planted last year 👍😂

Bonus 👍 @flof1952

Good morning Jane they are lovely so fresh looking 🤍💛🤍

Morning Enid, they are lovely 🥰 @godfreye

Morning everyone, have a great day. The summer snowflakes are getting in to their stride now and looking lovely dotted around the garden 🤍 #blooms #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant

Morning Jane .. love these , so pretty, really must get some 🤍🤍

Morning Julie, you must, they really are a great addition to the garden 🤍 @juliesgarden

👍🏻👍🏻

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ mine have all gone but the daffs are now doing their best

Morning Jane, these are a must for next year love them🤍💚

Its a shame you don't see more of them in gardens as they are so pretty

Morning Jeremy. My snowdrops have gone but these snowflakes flower later. I've still got a late daffodil just about to flower 🌼 @jpea

Morning Elise. Definitely a must 👌 @Auricula

Morning Joan, I absolutely agree, I love them 🤍 @joannie.a

Good morning Jane they are pretty 🤍🤍🤍

Morning Jane…..so pretty 🤍💚🤍

Morning all. The summer snowdrops are appearing now, I love their graceful beauty 🤍Have a fantastic Friday #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #white

Morning Jane. I love these ...can't remember where I planted mine though! Enjoy your day 👋😍

Morning again Jane… love these 🤍

Morning Pauline, hopefully you’ll soon see them and thank you 🙏 @flof1952

Gorgeous aren’t they Julie 🤍 @juliesgarden

Morning Jane, they're so pretty 😍

Morning Ange, aren't they just 🤍 @anges

I love them! I have a single flower out, so not long now

They'll come thick and fast now Joan 😍 @joanboston

Yes Jane, I can’t wait

They're not really snowdrops, they belong to the amaryllis family rather than the galanthus family and they are much taller. They are so worth growing Karen 😍 @KOutdoors

Every day is a school day Karen 😍 @KOutdoors

Morning everyone, the Summer Snowflakes are still going still going strong in the shade border. I hope you all get to enjoy the sun today 🌞 #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant

Love these Jane, sadly most of mine have bent in the frost and are now on the floor 😔

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️ they're rather pretty

Love these little flowers 🤍🤍

Morning Jane, they look lovely! 🤍💚🤍

That’s a shame Joan. Even though the planting instructions give full/partial sun these do much better than the ones in the sunny border. It might be worth a try 🤔 @joanboston

It’s the ones in the shade that are bent over Jane, the others in the sun, are pretty much ok

Morning Jeremy, I look forward to seeing them every year 💚 @jpea

Me too, they're so sweet 💚 @juliesgarden

Morning Ange, thank you 🙏 @anges

Oh, well there goes my theory 😂 @joanboston

Good morning Jane they look lovely 🤗

#marchflowers I nearly forgot to post this one #firstflower #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant 🤍💚🤍

Great catch! I noticed some of mine have started flowering today

Thanks Joan, they're great plants 💚 @joanboston

Is that a lady bird hanging on 🤔

Yes it is Charlotte, there seemed to be quite a few in the garden yesterday 🐞 @charlotte

Yay! 🤩🐞

Yay indeed 😍 @telswirld

Morning everyone, there is a lot of #newgrowth in the garden but this is one I particularly look forward to seeing, summer snowflake. Have a lovely day 💚 #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant

Morning Jane 🙂🌱

Morning Jane 👋🏼

Morning Ange, morning Elaine 🌿👋 @anges @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Good morning Jane🤗

Morning Enid 🙋‍♀️ @godfreye

Morning everyone, it’s supposed to be a better day today so hopefully I’ll be out in the garden. Stay safe #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant #white 🙋‍♀️🤍

Morning Jane, me too - although I'm hoping the garden waste bin is emptied today 🤞 so I can fill it back up again 😀 Stay safe

I put mine out yesterday but they didn’t empty it, we forgot to pay for it in time 🙄😂

Oh that's a shame 🙄😆

Morning Jane @pelly

Morning Elise, thank you and that's just what I intend to do today 🙋😍 @auricula

Morning Mike 🙋 @mikethegardener

Morning Jane .. love these little flowers🤍🤍, stay well ☺️

Good morning all - your early birds 🦢 🦅

They're so sweet aren't they Julie 😍 @juliesgarden

Morning Sharon 🙋 @sharonhayden

That's a lovely pic Jane, I've got some that aren't quite there yet

This was l lovely surprise this morning, my first summer snowflake #summer-snowflake-gravetye-giant #leucojum-aestivum-gravetye-giant 🤍💚🤍

Thanks Laura, I really do like these @columbiariver 🤍💚🤍

Blimey, that’s early mine are barely out of the ground😀

This one gets more sun where it is, the ones in my shadier are nowhere near either Joan. I must admit I was surprised to find this @joanboston 😍👍

I love them Jane and they multiply nicely too

Mine have definitely bulked up this year @joanboston 👍

Lovely 😊

Thanks Sharon @sharonhayden 🙏

Morning everyone, stay safe in storm Hannah today 💨💨 #leucojumaestivum #summersnowflake #gravetye-giant #white 27/4/19

Morning Jane lovely snowdrops hope the storm isn’t too bad for you today stay say 💐🌺

Morning Wayne, it’s not looking to good but we often seem to get the brunt of it here. Roll on tomorrow @wtwitchell6969 🙋‍♀️👍

Morning Jane. Quite blustery here and storm clouds up above ....keep safe 👋😮☔

Morning Pauline, thank you. I really hate these sort of days, I spend them worrying about my garden, but I’m sure I’m not on my own there @flof1952 😱😱

Morning again Twin @pelly something I haven’t got in my garden 😱 will have to put that right 😂😘

Morning Jane ... not arrived here yet although pretty windy atm ! 😁

Morning Jane, wet n windy here, yeah more time in the greenhouse 😁

Morning Jane hope there’s no damage done today 😘

Think we all worry about our gardens especially now when the new growth is in full swing Jane 🤔

Oh you must get some, they're beautiful @jadojado29 💚😘

Morning Julie, some very strong gusts here now but not as much rain @juliesgarden 💨💨

First flower spotted this morning, I absolutely love them #summersnowflake #leucojumaestivum 15/3/19

Same here Jane! Not quite as open as yours though. I’ve been outside for an hour, but the biting wind has driven me back inside

I've hardly been out in the garden since these awful winds started, it sounds as if they'll be gone on Sunday and I'm so looking forward to that 👍👍

Delighted to find these open when I got home from work 😍😍

Beautiful

Evening Jane @pelly what a Beautiful sight for you to come home to I would have been delighted as well 😍😘

Evening Suzie, aren't they just gorgeous @jadojado29 😍😘

What a lovely surprise 💚

They are so pretty enjoy your garden tomorrow, 👍

Thanks Jacqueline, it certainly was @awomanonabike 😍😍

Aren’t they and thank you Sue, I have my little granddaughter tomorrow so it will be a lovely if not exhausting day. I hope your day at work goes well @suerichards 👍😘

@pelly how pretty 😊🙏🏼

Cataloguing #notmyphoto I managed to plant a few more bulbs with Emily's"help" today. 😊😊😊

Those are beautiful 😍

Thank you Kathryn, I hope mine look as good @katgreen 😊😊😊

Aw lovely Emily gave you a hand Jane,I love these 😍👍

I put the bulbs where I wanted them and she kept pinching them. I've lost one of these somewhere @daisy-jane 😂😂😂

This variety looks gorgeous ☀️❄️☀️

Thanks, they're lovely aren't they @AlisaJ 😊😊😊

Thanks Laura, still a lot to go in yet @columbiariver 😊😊😊

It'll probably pop up somewhere your not expecting then Jane,but it will be a lovely surprise cause you'll know it's the one Emily planted for nan in a special place 😘👍

She threw it somewhere, I'll have a proper hunt tomorrow @daisy-jane 😂😂😂

Aw you should plant it where it is if you do find it Hun,then Emily will know which one is her's 😁😘👍
