Galanthus February 2008

I can usualy say straight away which are my favorites - but that is such a good selection I would be hard pressed to choose between them.  A hundred and fifty two years of mother nature doing her thing has certainly produced some rather nice crosses.

Does 4588 always have four petals?

And who could fail to fall for the charms of snoopy!

many thanks

.....Ian the Young kind he has now got the dreaded white fever,........

Oppps - now I have understand from which " Young ones " Cliff Richards and the Shadows is singing :

Worry not, Brian, as you will see from Hans' clip, the BD and I are a match made..... in a very fine growing medium 
It is, of course, a strain for me, after so long together, to have to cope with this sort of trauma in our relationship but I took the "for better for worse, in sickness and in health" part of our marriage vows very seriously so I'm sticking with him.... just wish me luck.....

[Ian Y]

No I have not caught WHITE FEVER - I am researching into it.
If I can understand the cause then I can seek a cure.
So do not give up - there is hope for all of you - I am sure that together we can beat it.
 

[KentGardener]

but what if I don't want to be cured?...


 

[Ian Y]

Perhaps you are a case beyond redemption.
However my first task is to find out what the problem is and I will do that on my second visit to see the wee white sna dreeps on Monday.

...and don't forget Ian it is contagious

John,
In some cases, there is little hope for these recidivists.... best hope for them is that they find enough love and cake to get them through the season that they fill meantime with jungle plants until they get their next white fix 

And of course, with any addiction, you cannot beat it until you have admitted to being an addict.....but, as I said, I'm standing by the BD him.....

[Maggi Young]

and don't forget Ian it is contagious

Brian, are you suggesting that I am Cleopatra......... the Queen of Denial 

[Brian Ellis]

Would I?

I like the four petalled one and Snoopy joins that lost list of desirables. Castle Green, I'm pleased to say, is doing well here in sunny D.

Seems like Galanthus nivalis 'FLOCON DE NEIGE' is setting a new record on Ebay. With less than 4½ hours to go it has already reached £142!!! Lovely snowdrop, but wow!

Is it the usual two millionaire bidders (ruining it for everyone else)?   

[Anthony Darby]

Not sure as the current high bidder has withheld their ID? Maybe it's mark? We'll see when the fat lady sings.
