I think Emma wanted to know about Galanthus trojanus?

I think Steve, you have posted a picture of Galanthus Trojan which is different plant..large flowered and strong growing.

Hi Anthony do you have any contact details for Josef? I wouldn't mind getting some of those seeds if he has any left?

Galanthus trojanus is in Vojtec Holubec's seed list.  Maggi posted a link in the 'Grow from seed' thread.

I think Emma was confused because Anthony said that Josef was selling Trojanus seeds, then he said they are not on his current list? Is that right Emma? It confused me anyway :) I have just had a look at Vojtec Holubec's seed list Roma he has trojanus as you said but also Galanthus koenenianus, I would love to send off for these but he has a minimum of 25.00 euro if you want to order and i'm near the top of my plant budget  >:( oh well.
