Galanthus in February 2013

[Maggi Young]

Following an idea from Emma T, I am thinking of setting up as a Snowdrop Personal Shopper.  I'll go to all the sales, try to get to the front of the queue and buy up the snowdrops people have ordered.  This will help those who cannot get out and about so much - for a fee, of course.  I might even be able to help those galanthophiles who pay extortionate prices on eBay.  I just have to work out where on earth to advertise my services.

   What, you mean there might be somewhere that reaches more 'drop fiends than HERE?!!!!! 

I don't think so!      What will you call your new business?   'Drop'n'shop ?

You should register that name Maggi and ask a fee for the creative copyright when someone uses it

Kencott Kali is not on Joe Sharman's list (as far as I can see).

Lot's of lovely pictures over the last few days everyone.

'Carolyn Elwes'...  The first time I saw the plant I hated it - the next time I saw it I loved it.  This year I really can't make my mind up.  It really has looked like three different bulbs!   

Guessing it is rather changeable depending on growing conditions and how newly chipped she is?

[Martin Baxendale]

John, that reminds me - could you also keep an eye on Carolyn Elwes for possible pollen for me? Thanks.

[Martin Baxendale]

I have to agree, I don't find it a hugely attractive snowdrop but it does have breeding potential.

'Shop to Drop' maybe

"Mono-coloured Drop Shop"   ?

[emma T]

mmm looks like i have some competition  the world of snowdrop personal shopping now      lol 

[Alan_b]

Yes, Emma always seems to have bags full of snowdrops (and other plants) but always claims that almost all of them are for other people.  That's what put me on to the Snowdrop Personal Shopper idea

[emma T]

lol i do end up buying for other people ! I need to start charging a finders fee ! Sometimes i buy snowdrops for me

"Mono-coloured Drop Shop"   ?

Love it!

[art600]

I know it is difficult from photos, but I would appreciate people giving an indication of what the following two snowdrops are.

The first was just labelled 'Galanthus' - 1 photo  - and the second was erroneously labelled  Galanthus gracilis

Thanks

Pass. I like the inner mark on the second two

Jennie, Joe's  list came out last week, late.

Kenncot Kali wasn't on the list, but he'd had some at an earlier sale and people had ordered it for collection at the Gala, which is when I saw it when giving orders out. Originally I sent him a SAE in Jan time for a list.
