So this appellation is obscure, but current, and refers to those plant people who are enamored with the plant genus name galanthus. The seed of this obsession is probably in many people, anyone that has seen it on a cold late winters day, or a early spring afternoon surely have the germ of this obsession. Garden Design, Winter 2012, has a blurb on it on page 66. I did not know there were 19 versions of the plant, or that only one dictionary on the web offers any help in defining it.
Essentially, galanthophiles are enthusiasts of the "snowdrop." Apparently their is a new book, 2012, on the subject of this bulb. I planted 60 of these bulbs this fall, cross your fingers for me.
