The fragrant flowers of Prunus mume (Japanese apricot, ume) appear in late winter and early spring. This deciduous tree has dark green shoots and the flowers appear on the bare branches and are followed by edible but sour, apricot-like, yellow fruit.

I was recently invited to attend The Hodsock Priory event to launch the 2017 snowdrop season.
I have never been able to attend before so I made sure this was going to be the year I visited.
Tumblr media
This is the 26th consecutive year that the snowdrop event has been held.
The event runs daily 10am-4pm from Saturday 4 February to Sunday 5 March 2017.
Our host and guide for the visit was George Buchanan who showed us around the grounds and some parts of his family home.

The energetic George Buchanan.
After an introductory talk where we learned that there are possibly 4 million snowdrops currently growing at Hodsock, with planting started in the 1800’s by George’s ancestors. Parts of the woodlands became overgrown and full of brambles, so clearing work began in the 1900’s and careful management continues today.
Snowdrops covering the woodland floor.
Tree Roots highlighted to prevent tripping.
The outside campfire and seating area.
Wonderful Mature Trees.
The woodland walk area was teaming with birdsong and the ever pleasing presence of emerging Snowdrops.
Tumblr media
Snowdrops looking splendid.
There were many areas with Spring bulbs planted up and shown off very well.
Narcissi Cedric Morris
Cyclamen Coum
Many Bottoms raised for the perfect shot.
Pathways were cleverly planted up with avenues of highly scented winter flowering shrubs to maximum scent affect, plants such as Sarcococca species, Lonicera Fragrantissima, Winter Sweet and areas of Petasites.
Lonicera fragrantissima
Sarcococca confusa
Hamamelis mollis
The gardens were well tendered and all areas easily accessible, we were told there was possibly a Mink in locality which was feasting on the ornamental fish is the big pond, however I’m pleased to say that the furry thief was not spotted by anyone on the day.

We enjoyed exploring any areas of the gardens, and it was nice to see lots of areas planted up with Iris, Cyclamen, and named Snowdrops all planted for flowering for during the Snowdrop event.
Cyclamen Coum
Snowdrop Galanthus Nivalis
Hodsock is a lovely place for a visit and as I’ve previously noted, the snowdrop event runs from now until Sunday 5th March 2017.
Facilities include:
 Heated Marquee Tea Room – open daily
Daily History Talks 
Plant Sales
Gift Shop
Campfire by Woodland Cafe
Direct access into woods and gardens
Accessible paths
Victorian beehives
Sorry – dogs are not permitted in the Gardens or Woods but may run in the Park
Hodsock Priory will reopen again after the snowdrop event later in the Spring for the Bluebells.

Woodland Walk, Jon Paul Wilson
'Woodland Walk' is a painting of a meeting of paths in the centre of Horse Pasture Wood, Hodsock Priory, Nottinghamshire, England. The paths meet close to a focal point of an ancient Oak tree. The old Oak is surrounded by Bluebells and Fern fronds . The cooler dark background contrasts with the warm sunlight meadow in the foreground. Painted in glazed oils to create luminous layers of colour. Finished with a protective gloss. Canvas is ready to hang or it is possible to add a picture frame.

Plant of the Day
Friday 22 February 2019
The fragrance of the blooms of Prunus mume (Japanese apricot) was filling a sunny, late winter day at Hodsock Priory, Nottinghamshire. This deciduous tree species has green young stems that contrast with light to dark pink flowers which are produced on bare branches in late winter. These are followed by edible but sour, apricot-like, yellow fruit.
