Hi again, i will take more photos tomorrow and post them.

Evelyn.

Perhaps I should re-phrase my answer: The flowers are snowdrops, so technically speaking they don't look nothing like Arnott and Magnet - what I meant was that the marks look nothing like Arnott and Magnet marks.

Apologies if I sound a bit irritable, but I think most people on the forum know by now that I'm not happy with the whole process of trying to put names to snowdrops found in gardens based purely on what cultivar they might bear a similarity to, without any reason to think that they ever were a named cultivar, especially, as Mark says, single-marked snowdrops with marks that look like a zillion other snowdrops.

I think we all understand that Martin... perhaps in this instance there has been a bit of confusion over English idioms which has lead to some frustration.
No harm done or taken, I'm sure.

No harm done Maggi, they need a platoon for that!
