Rob you will need to get in touch with Joe Sharman rather than rely on the price list that was posted.  That was an availablity list to 30th January.

Hi Rob

if you know that something has already been mentioned on the forum it is well worth doing a search before simply starting new threads.  I have just done a search and found all the information you could need is already available to you on the great resource that is the SRGC forum.

..here's the first page

That posting gives 'ordering details', 'address', 'email address', 'telephone number' (and unforuntaley also that orders arriving after February 2nd will not be accepted - I would still think it worth getting in touch with Mr Sharmon, after he is home from this weekends Galanthus Gala).

hope this helps.

regards

John

Unfortunately Rob you will probably find his stocks depleted as he will have been selling at the Gala today. :'(

Rob you will need to remember to send an SSAE to him in mid January.  You will then get the price list of those available for sale at that time and, with a bit of luck, will get what you order ;) - unless of course it is something like Ecusson d'Or where there were only 3 bulbs for sale :'(

I got 3 out of 7 that I asked for - but i am pleased with that as I dithered and waited 3 days before sending my order in!

Nice plants though.  ;D

Quite so, indeed, it is always worth doing a search on old and new forum archives before posting  ::) 8)

You're aiming too high, Rob. There are plenty of good snowdrops out there that cost much less.
