No Galanthus on the list, however. 

[Matt T]

Seeds requiring immediate sowing (Galanthus and Hepatica) were in the June list.

[Alan_b]

Ah yes indeed, Matt.  I was really trying to hint that this particular seed list was not ideally placed in the Galanthus section of the forum. 

[Maggi Young]

Which is why it is also in the Bulbs General Section - but so many know Anne for her Galanthus I felt it would be seen here by those with a more blinkered snowdrop view - and perhaps tempt them into the light!

Nice try, Maggi!

I am waiting for some clever breeder to come up with an autumn-flowering narcissus that is hardy in the UK.  I have (and love) Cedric Morris, which I understand was a chance find rather than a deliberate cross.  Something earlier like Narcissus elegans growing in the garden would be really special.

Edit:  According to Val Bourne here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/3337020/How-to-grow-Narcissus-Cedric-Morris.html

Alec Gray, a Cornish daffodil-grower for the cut-flower trade, undertook a breeding programme to hybridise these early flowering Spanish daffodils with his cut-flower varieties between 1927 and the 1960s. He hoped to produce earlier cut-flower daffodils that would fetch a higher premium. Instead he produced classic varieties such as ‘Tête à Tête’ (1949), ‘Jumblie’ (1952) and ‘Quince’ (1953).

so even a failed attempt might produce some interesting results.
