Winter Aconite and Snowdrops on my walk today

I'm away on Granny duties so have some time whilst the little ones are at nursery. This hasn't helped me get much nearer to a solution. I had originally thought, on a cursory glance, that the RS may have have been the Royal Society but following the picture clue, I realise this must be the Rolling ...
