This particular Galanthus Nivalis is located in a
shallow flower bed, edging an entrance road into a plot of hardscape industrial land. Their condition was surprisingly good given their
limp form, intruding into the road. Amongst the plant is various evergreen
shrubs dominating the flower bed. The ground conditions were dry and tough
to excavate. I took a sample of lower level soil and carried out soil pH tests
which read to have a pH of 7.5 indicating the soil to be ALKALINE

your photos aren't of snowdrops - just look at your sketch (which is fine) - they aren't the same!
