A few pictures from what will, I suspect, be our last snowdrop garden visit this year including a nice clump of Primrose Warburg.

"Nice" is an understatement!  :o
PW was a new one for me this year, so hoping she'll look like that in a few years...

Call it Green kilometre Gerard and leave the rest to history. Seriously though that is very nice and Kinetic would certainly appeal to the weird and wonderful brigade and it is different enough to be very interesting. Good job.

Galanthus 'Seagull' perhaps - and we heard recently about a 'drops which originated from the Brin garden  in Invernesshire - so perhaps it is that?

'Bridesmaid' the only Brid I can think of.  Or chance it was Brigadier Mathias?

I still don't see why it can't be  -    ex Brin  - in other words a snowdrop from Brin  - as Susan's plant was - easy enough to mis-write something.... and get Brid  instead of Brin....

That one is far more frequently encountered than any of the other suggestions.  I'm not sure if 'Brin' has even made it south of the border yet. 
Almost in Scotland.
