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.

Sorry not replied sooner. Don't know how Joe organizes his paperwork, sorry. I've sent him SAE in the past so it might work? Good luck.
I've run out of space, don't let me get more plants!

Great to see more pictures of your garden Freddy.

Mmmmm, 'Boyds Double' - lucky you Davey.  I've been trying to get that for a long time and it seems to be very elusive to me.

A couple of pics from here yesterday.

1 & 2 - One of Davey P's finds.  I was sent this and a couple of spikies a few years ago - this one was described as nice so I labelled as 'Daveys Nice'  (which we all know he is.   ;D )

2 - 'Lord Lieutenant' - this has taken 4 or 5 years to settle here and give me my first flowers.

You may not see this yourself but I thought the snowdrop in the background of picture 1 bears a passing resemblance to Darth Vader,

Alan this was found in a mixed colony of Plicatus and nivalis,there were no named plants amongst them,i can say they have been there for at least 50 years +,i can not say where i found it because i don't fancy the place getting ripped to bits by everyone,plus the owner of the land would fall out with me.

Lovely photos Diane.

I especially like the ones showing the leaves, as it gives an idea of scale, rather than just a close up of the flower.

ps Can you edit the Diggory picture

 Rob and Diane: I've removed the "not" Diggory photo for Diane- I think it was an Ailwyn!
