Here is another nice drop from a colleage from me and some late Elwesii, i took the photo today.
The small one was found in Russia.

Mark,

I must say I adore those snowdrops with long elegant outer segments and found G. 'Madalaine' with its yellow markings so beautiful. You also had other similarly long outer petalled snowdrops which are simply beautiful. In the first post, picture one - 'selection' - seems to have particularly pointed outer segments, nice.

Nice set of photographs.

I am seriously considering spending a long weekend up in Maggi's neck of the woods in early 2009.  Not yet sure if me and the driver could cope with the cooler temperatures up there, being the soft Southerners that we are.

Just reading some of the old posts - and enjoying reading the goings on from 2008 - it was a good year for Galanthus viewing that year (unlike the abysmal weather that caused many of the 2009 events to be postponed  ).

Reading the above quoted post - I have realised that I am eventually carrying out my threat to invade Scotland - a year late  - but February 2010 I shall be there.   

Maybe in February 2011 Ireland, Germany or Holland had better prepare for a KentGardener invasion.   

Best wishes

Well, why not, but you've got to survive a weekend with us, first! Hope you are already taking the extra vitamins to give you the strength!! As well as Dunblane Day, there will be the Brechin Castle visit, too......

Sorry haven't been back here in a while. Yes do go to Howick Hall any time of year - the woodland garden is stunning in spring at camellia time and autumn is also fabulous.
