Well they might have told you that, Arthur, but do you really want to be called a cauliflower? 

[Anne Repnow]

 
Better than broccoli!

Mrs Macnamarra and a nice elwesii monostictus one of my definite favourites

[Anne Repnow]

Beautiful clumps - I understand them being favourites!

Here is 'Ailwyn' in the starting blocks. I planted one bulb 2 years ago - seems to be an excellent increaser.

She definitely is. I now have 11 flowering bulbs after buying a bulb in 2009

I should have said "Mon petit chou".

 
It is often translated as meaning "my little cabbage" but the "chou" in question in this case can also be a popular kind of pastry.
 Whatever the exact origin, it is a term of endearment for someone you like very much.

... somthing to look forward then.

I got a bulb at about the same time and now I have one flowering bulb and one offset.  However it is such a perfect double snowdrop that it needs to be more readily-available, so I'm very pleased if others are doing better than I am.

[Anne Repnow]

I agree, it is a charming double - I like the funny marks on the inner petals as much as its perfection.

I guess we'll never really know why some snowdrops thrive in one place and are slow to increase in another. But then - even in one garden - there are so many micro-habitats...

[annew]

Okay Anne, you have bred yellow snowdrops and now you have bred a very green one.  Your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to produce something like your latest green one in yellow!

I'm trying. Very trying....

[MR GRUMPY]

Anne,
      You couldn't have painted a better one .

[annew]

That's an idea...

Ding Dong NOT so merrily on high!

I received this little chap through the post. It doesn't look very good to me?
Can anyone identify the cause?

[uvularia]

I was also wondering if anyone knew the origins of 'Tim's Hill Poe'. I was originally told
that it was found in amongst a population of Hill Poe at Evenley Wood by Tim Whiteley.
But he doesn't recall this? And doesn't know the plant!

Is there another Tim?
