What an impressive list of fantastic snowdrops, Richard. Wow! I love of couse the plic-types from Ukraine, but also some great nivalis selections. I love those virescent and striped types! Some nice Scharlockii too!

This is my greenest snowdrop in my garden, a selection from 2013. Not yet named of course as numbers need to be built up.

A tad early for us but we have no complaints after a winter such as the last one.  We've had a nice mild stretch of weather, ominously reminscent of 1981 when evergreen azaleas were showing colour at the end of March!

Marvellous snowdrop postings there Valentin and David!

There has been some chat of the facebook snowdrop page about 'Sally Wickenden'. By far most people are growing the wrong snowdrop including me. Which of the two below do you have?

We have both at work , the Sally with the narrower inner markings is the only right Sally as described in the book.

Need to know what to call the false Sally  ?

Possibly one of the other Acton Pigot seedlings as I understand that Margaret Owen did pass them on and sometimes mixed the names up.
