Galanthus 'Ray Cobb' a frail and difficult thing

I couldn't agree more Tony, but imagine my surprise to see a clump of them growing well in a raised bed this morning!

Yet again my Ivy Cottage/Croft Green tips, why can I never remember!, have no green tips. Can anyone spare one or two that are reliably green tipped

Natalie Garton after years as a single bulb now has two flowering sized bulbs and each has a twin scape. Is this normal - the twin scapes?

A not so good photo showing my G. rizehensis coming up through a Daphne. This summer I might try to get them out

Hi Steve

Lovely pics - for future readers it is great if you can write the names of the flowers as text - that way anyone searching on the forum for years to come will find your pics.   8)

Steve you have the very difficult to find Broadwell. That was a good find

How does Fionas Gold differ from primrose Warburg, Spindlestone Surprise and Spetchley Yellow? They all look the same in my garden. I don't have Fionas Gold

Hi Steve

My understanding is that the search function of these forums can only work when the words are actually typed as text in a post rather than only the names of attached pictures - so I usually name the pics and then type the words too.

I see Maggi has now copied and pasted the image names as text in the posts so your wonderful pictures will be searchable for everyone in future years.   8)
