Joe Sharman, the King of Snowdrops , and the tale of the most expensive snowdrop ever sold

Country Life Trending: A Joe Sharman snowdrop under development, codenamed L1857. ©Clive Nichols Credit: Clive Nichols Joe Sharman started breeding snowdrops before anyone else and, after 10 years of meticulous work, he created the most expensive snowdrop ever sold. Today, he continues his quest for ever more curious and enchanting variations, finds John Grimshaw. Photographs by Clive Nichols. Somewhere in rural Cambridgeshire, Joe Sharman is breeding snowdrops. To most people, this statement may seem odd, but, to the core of snowdrop-lovers known as galanthophiles, it’s important information. Mr Sharman grew up in Cambridgeshire in the 1960s and 1970s, when children were expected to entertain themselves and could set off for a day’s exploration, giving no one the slightest qualm: he recalls climbing up the middle of a hollow oak to emerge, sweep-like, at the top.

The white stuff – when, where and why you should be planting snowdrops

Blossoming snowdrop flowers (Galanthus) stand in Gador Credit: Tibor Rosta These early flowering spring bulbs were probably the first flowers I identified. I was a very short-sighted child – and as a consequence was often flat on my face. My mother thought I was just extraordinarily clumsy. I will always love snowdrops but, as Anna Pavord points out, to be a snowdrop buff you need special qualities: “A circulation system of cast iron and brilliant eyesight.” Perhaps because I have neither, the big white sheets of “ordinary” snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis), are still my favourites. Our family lived in the Cotswolds near Bath, and grassy banks with limy soil encouraged the “native” G. nivalis to flourish and make large drifts. It is now thought that it is not really native but has naturalised, having arrived around the 1500s.
