galanthophile
A galanthophile is an enthusiastic collector of snowdrops (''Galanthus'' species and cultivars).
==Term==
The term galanthophile was probably invented by the noted British plantsman and garden writer E. A. Bowles (1865–1954) in a letter to his friend Oliver Wyatt, another keen collector of bulbs, whom he addressed as "Dear Galanthophil". Wyatt may have been the first person to whom the term was applied but he was by no means the first galanthophile; as well as Bowles himself there had been keen collectors of snowdrops since at least the mid 19th century. Many galanthophiles are commemorated in the names of snowdrop species or cultivars. Nurseryman James Atkins (1804–1884) of Northampton was one of the earliest, and the tall, early-flowering, robust ''Galanthus'' 'Atkinsii' is still widely grown: Canon Ellacombe of Bitton distributed 'Atkinsii' widely.〔F. C. Stern: ''Snowdrops and Snowflakes – A study of the Genera Galanthus and Leucojum'', The Royal Horticultural Society, 1956, p. 65.〕
