Now I know why people lust after 'Hugh Mackenzie'. 

Fiona Mackenzie might have something to say about that!

[Janis Ruksans]

Janis! Nice rare snowdrop species collection - love them all, especially Poet clump!! Hello from the Ukraine in snow!! 

Thanks Dima. Watching TV I'm allways thinking about you and your garden in this horrible spring in Ukraina and here in Latvia, too.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Janis fine Caucasic galanthus!
for all warm Easter greetings,
especially for Janis and Dima these white greetings!!
You are not alone.

John KG,
the greenies love you atrium garden so much.
There is only a small but important difference between BASISGRÜNER and FEDERSCHWINGEN : BASISGRÜNER has blur basal marks. (I would have also only problems with German but I got it with breast milk )

Hagen, I don't think you have ever posted pictures of the places where you find all your wonderful drops.  If the snow ever melts I would be very interested to see some shots.  I presume you could keep these generic enough so as not to reveal the locations.  I have a few places that have proven very fruitful as sources of unusual snowdrops so I'm just interested to know how yours compare.

Thanks, Hagen. And to all forumists the same warmest Easter greetings!
The last night was not so horrible as forecasted. Here in greenhouse temperature dropped only to minus 3-8 C (outside we had 11). BHut only 50 km from here was minus 17 C.

A good easter to all forumists too!

Gerard, is it one of your homestead with naturalized snowdrops??

[Gerard Oud]

It is in the Netherlands and not far away from my home. When you have time to go to the Netherlands we will have a look together.
And probably the other woodland that everybody wants to know

[Gerard Oud]

Here are more pics from yesterday from my most favorite other woodland. Not the same as the previous one!

Two large flowering plants.  Over 10 inches tall.

I told Ken it would be a good yellow for his garden but I did not quite expect this.

Again in his garden:

Anglesey Abbey
Cicely Hall

Dionysius

He has the bug but will not admit it.
