Galanthus in February 2013

[kentish_lass]

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.

Thanks Jan
Do you think I need to send an SAE next year?  I made an order last year so thought I would automatically be on this years list.

I agree Jenny... it's seems hard to get on the lists but may be it's because it's all done by post instead of internet.  The personal shopping idea sounds great. Alan and Emma, you have a whole year to sort out the details The 'drop Shop

A couple that came in from the cold today to have their pictures taken.

1.  Galanthus 'Rosemary Burnham'
2.  Galanthus 'Trym Baby'

Bright day here, David but I can well imagine that the 'drops would appreciate being taken in to the warm for their photo session.  They were swelling but not opening, in the garden here. Makes 'em look nice and chubby though, which I do like just as much as the full spread of their flowers.

Excellent arrangement Paddy.  I hope the cut flowers were appreciated by the viewers as they look glorious to me.

David - keep the lovely pictures coming as I very much enjoy seeing them.

I'm guessing David has avoided the flu, judging by the photos.........

Nope. Well not quite flu but nasty enough. Went for lay down for an hour one day and got up three days later. Dangerous pastime this snowdrop thing.

Oh crikey- that's not good.  Lot of assorted bugs going about, I know- it's just a dangerous time of year I think.
Ian was laid low, and Angela is struggling - even a thirty year old of my acquaintance slept for 18 hours solid at the weekend- she felt poleaxed.

Hope all the afflicted are soon fighting fit again.

Is there a green tipped plicatus available? Weeding this day last week I found a green tipped plicatus in one of my raised beds. Actually a bulb and daughter bulb. Both are green tipped

They are better looking than the photo shows. There is a possibility it is something that 'died' or was eaten by a grub and has now come back.

[Paddy Tobin]

Paddy, a fine arrangement

And, can you spot your 'Kildare' in the group?

Yes, Mark, I know of one other green tipped plicatus; can't think of the name at the moment, sorry. It will come to me === eventually.

Ah, yes, 'Green Lantern'

Never had it so that's out

Is that an Amy Doncaster Mark?
