Death of respected plantswoman and snowdrop lover, Ruby Baker

[Dr Dowling MUNRO]

I have been on holiday and missed the news of Ruby's death.  She was a lovely friend to me and I used to send her picture postcards when on holiday, and commonly received a letter or phone call when I returned.  I, like many galanthophiles, will miss her greatly  Dowling Munro

Welcome to the forum, Dr Munro.  We met earlier this year at the Stratford-on-Avon event and a conversation there lead to an exchange of snowdrops when we met again in Buntingford.  Ruby herself was a frequent attendee at such events and always stood out, perhaps because you would see her in eager discussion with so many people.
