This thread may help Malcolm...

 You could make the picture a bit bigger if you like.... about 760 pixels wide.

Aha, as I posted this.... you discovered bigger! You may post up to 10 pix in each post.... by continuing to click the browse button under Additional attachments, wioth a maximum picture  size of 500kb but tthat big is not necessary.... you'll see lovely photos 760 pixels wide that are around 100kb .



Lovely to see "you" too, in your avatar.

Glad you got to Colesbourne David - looks like it was a nice day.  Suprising how well their plants are lasting when all mine are going over rapidly.     I've not been to Colesbourne since 2008.  

Thanks also to Malcolm for you Colesbourne pictures - some great photos of snowdrops in the sun.

Good to have you posting in the Galanthus area Nick.

Ron Mackenzie describes Rodmarton Arcturus as having two spots over the sinus and a bold mark at the base, which doesn't match the photo on the AGS report.

Martin - you were spot on with your observation - it seems that the gremlins crept in when Ronald Mackenzie wrote the catalogue description. After making enquiries, I can confirm that all of the stock of 'Rodmarton Arcturus' is as seen at the RHS Show - the description, as recorded by Joint Rock, and the herbarium specimen, will be correct.
