Galanthus plicatus 'Wandlebury Ring' ?

[günter]

Günter,  I have not seen 'Wandlebury Ring'  but I am surprised that a yellow form would be so tall as 20cm..... to my mind, the yellows are usually weaker, smaller types. With 20cms height, yours must be a good strong grower?

Ich habe 2 und beide werden so hoch.

Very good.

It's a very long time since I learned German at school but I think the reply from Günter translates as:

"I have 2 and both are that tall"

I have made my first venture into the yellows with a G. sandersii......I doubt it will ever be as tall as the stately 'Wandlebury Ring'  though I hope it will enjoy life here in Aberdeen. A friend has offered me a 'Wendy's Gold' which I have gratefully accepted. This a moment of weakness, perhaps.... I have been offered it before and turned it down..... It seems my future may be bright and.... yellow!

I hope you didnt buy the Sandersii! Ask before you buy

[Maggi Young]

Yes, I did, Mark... I know you have made generous offers of snowies to me before... I am not ungrateful, really... just saw them in front of me and thought that young nurseryman has wife and children to feed!
Besides, I also know that the world and his wife chase you for bulbs.... I try not to do that..... much !

Does it need a friend to spend the long summer days and nights with?

Alan's translation or my new sandersii?

Your snowdrop

[Maggi Young]

Ah! Well, in that case, yes, it would 

[Alan_b]

I had the privilege of meeting Bill Clark today.  Despite the spelling in the snowdrop book, he confirmed that his surname is spelt without an "e".  So the snowdrop that is supposed to be named after him (shown earlier) should correcly be called "Bill Clark". 

[Anthony Darby]

I see the snowdrop book is also on Ebay.

[mark smyth]

No guesses who is bidding

Several choices on AbeBooks for £40.... seems reasonable  ..for second edition
One in Australia for first editon is aa bit steep at nearly £68
