 Perfect capture of the "diamonds", Anne - especially those neatly arranged down the edge.

I was just wondering if anyone knew whether The Snowdrop Company in Oxfordshire still trades? Do they send out a list? I can't seem to find any current reference?

[Maggi Young]

They're still listed in Cambo's links list-  and I think it should be reasonably up to date... there's a phone number listed there
The Snowdrop Company, Barn ­Cottage, Shilton, Oxfordshire   Tel.  01993 842177 but the 'drop fiends will know better about  Ronald Mackenzie.....     

[Martin Baxendale]

Yes, Ron is still trading. His catalogue is sent out in early December these days. 

[uvularia]

Thanks Maggi. I wanted to see if Ronald Mackenzie had any of the late Bill Baker's snowdrops. Apparently he had a lot of
snowdrops from Bill and I was trying to track down which forms Bill had.

[uvularia]

Thanks Martin. Do I have to send a SAE for the list?

[mark smyth]

I didn't get his list this year :-(

[Martin Baxendale]

An A5 SAE should get you a catalogue. Last year he still had catalogues in February. Not sure if one first class stamp would be enough. Probably.

These were photographed last week.  They are growing in a cold frame.

1.  Miss Wilmott    A present from a friend for a special birthday. It had 4 flowers last year.

2.   Close up of Miss Wilmott

A clump of Miss Wilmott must be a fantastic sight

Four lovely snowdrops Art, I particularly like Yaffle, wait until it clumps up for you  it's lovely (and vigorous).

Another day of mud & showers  but a few things in the greenhouse opened in a brief bit of sunshine.
