If you're curious about how people develop snowdrop mania, we've compiled a list of articles about the people, the societies, and the culture behind the madness. Links include a first-person tale from the man who sold a snowdrop for almost $600 this year (on eBay, natch), a gathering of the 'Immortals' among the snowdrop collectors, and photos of Hitch Lyman's astounding American collection of snowdrops.
In this week's link roundup, we look at beautiful seed packets; unusual planters; Annie Proulx, garden-writer-turned-novelist; and a Louisiana island filled with camellias.
