Thanks for posting this, Ingrid.  Andrew Thorpe used to have a web site with his sales list on it but that seems to have been discontinued.  I was interested to see that 'Green Light' (a snowdrop I originated) is on the future sales list.  Hitherto it has been sold exclusively by Joe Sharman but it seems to be becoming a 'mainstream' snowdrop now.
Almost in Scotland.

agree John - some I got from Andrew are nearer a clump than a bulb!  Will definitely order more

Parcel just arrived from Andrew & Anita Thorpe (Andrew's Snowdrops)!

It included Emerald Isle which I decided to get following frequent recommendations from the Irish Galanthus Marketing Board AKA Paddy Tobin :)

Excellent bulbs, beautifully packed!

The list came out in January both for drops that Andrew had available then and for drops available now! If you look above you will see both lists I posted at the time. They are very high quality drops and some packets had multiple bulbs!

Hi ingrid I ordered from these lists of Andrew's earlier in the year, I didn't think that you could still do so.

I ordered from both lists in January. The June list drops arrived today, if you ordered from the June list you are in for a lovely surprise  ;D

I spotted quite a few errors and inaccuracies in the lists.  For example, I do not believe that 'Angelique' is a sport of 'Anglesey Abbey', as stated.  However, I have had good-quality plants from the Thorps in the past so I would not let such mistakes put you off.
