Last snowdrops of the season?

[snowdropman]

Loes - 'Pagoda' is a gorgeous looking plant, but unfortunately nobody seems to have it - the same is true of the similar 'Flight of Fancy' - however a newer snowdrop, whose outer petals roll back like these two, is g. nivalis 'Egret' and this should be more generally available in a few years time.

I have seen Egret growing in a garden and I agree that it is a really nice looking plant that is definately on my future wants list.

You see, Boys, where I come from, 'Egret' is a particularly nice little Rhododendron ! Quite readily available and at modest cost, too!!   Masses of little waxywhite trumpet flowers. I'll show you in the Rhodo page when it comes out!

[loes]

Maggi,I`ll wait for the Egret snowdrop if you don`t mind.I just don`t like Rhodo`s!

[Maggi Young]

AAaaaarrrgghh!! Are you mad?



I must do everything I can to help  you to love rhodos !

[Gerard Oud]

Even i do love Rhodos, always sun and nice swimming and diving water!

[snowdropman]

Well I for one like rhodo's (in fact I grow about 10 different forms), so I am more than happy to wait for your photo's of 'Egret'  

[loes]

I`m sorry Maggi but I really love all sorts of plants except...rhododendrons. :(I can`t help it.
Rhodos I do love,been there about 20 years ago.

[snowdropman]

Maggi - looks like you have a big job on your hands here 

[Maggi Young]

Chris, it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it! Now that I see the scale of the problem, I think I'll begin by asking loes and Gerard to take me to Rhodos to show me what is so good about the place, and, while there, I can begin to explain, over a nice meal and some pleasant drink, about the REAL rhodos !

Can I come too

[Gerard Oud]

No problem Chris, could it be possible that we have that discussion on the SnowdropGala i am going to organise next year?
I heard there are at least one Touringcar full with snowy's from England is coming.

[loes]

Gerard,I`m pleased to hear you are organising a snowdropgala next year!
I will certainly come,looking forward to meet you and your drops!

Maggi,The Real Rhodos is in Greece!I`d love to see it again! ( bring your sunglasses)

[Maggi Young]

No, no, Loes, the Greeks only called their Island Rhodos because they were so sad they did not have any real rhododendrons to make their land more beautiful!! 

[loes]

Hmmm .... if you say so
