North Green Snowdrop Catalogue

[Maggi Young]

A message has been received from  John Morley with the  following information -

"Due to unforeseen circumstances the 30th Anniversary Catalogue for North Green Snowdrops has been delayed. Have no fear. It WILL come"

 Reassuring news for  the galanthophile population

I expect everyone is on their way to Myddleton, the catalogue has just arrived here with the shocking news:

North Green Snowdrops very much regret to inform their customers that G.'Trimmer' is no longer available for sale as the entire stock has been stolen.
G woronowii 'Elizabeth Harrison' which they very much hoped would be available to offer for sale next year has also been stolen

Horrifying that there are such goings on over snowdrops of all things!

[Maggi Young]

One hears of plant thefts now and again  but sadly the snowdrop world seems to be littered with such horrible happenings - I'm not shocked - I am disgusted.

    I whole hearted agree  .People are going to have to think twice about opening their gardens up to the public.

  On a happier note 'Mother Goose' ,what a stunner !...

And I fear it will only get worse,with prices that are being paid on e bay, also the latest drop for sale today at Myddleton House at £500,there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there,we have lost drops, and even a bird bath from our front garden in the past

This is truly depressing.

Time for some well-placed security cameras in the garden and greenhouse.  They are cheap and can be incorporated into your home security system and iPhones.   Rearend recognition not included.   

johnw - +2c, an abysmal winter here with one storm or cold snap after another.  And it won't let up.

If anyone sees either of those advertised on EBay they should inform the police - perhaps one or more of the gardening journos could publicise the theft in the newspapers.

It must be heartbreaking, I've lost a few things over the years including a large pot of Agapanthus 

Most of my nice things in pots don't stay at work, it's just too risky

I had no idea Galanthus bulbs can be so expensive
