Hi Brian, I too wonder about the other stories that ‘fell’ along the way. At least one other person thought an un-named snowdrop bulb was worth over a thousand pounds! Tom has certainly found an interesting way of giving his new cultivars a back story.. I wonder what next Valentines Day will bring! We might not even have to wait that long!!..... Anyone got an un-named Christmas flowering bulb?Tim DH
Will a blue daffodil do? Or maybe one of my red snowdrops?
Somebody should tell the poor guy that he has a snowdrop worth £50 on a good day for which his daughter paid a hefty premium for the privilege of naming. Or maybe not a hefty premium, compared to the cost of naming a rose?
Do you think so, Brian? What will happen when Evolution Plants start selling the thing? I know there are a few 'completists' who would pay a high price for a snowdrop they do not have but I don't see the rest of us paying a lot of money. But I could be wrong. I have yet to see a good photograph of this particular snowdrop so it is perfectly possible it looks better in life than as an image or better as a clump than as an individual plant.
I just felt that it would be better if Peter Gooding could now relax and enjoy his snowdrop without worrying that somebody would want to steal it.
it is as yet unnamed. The purchaser will have the honour of naming it, perhaps after a loved one.
