I'm thoroughly confused!  It's great for Galanthus to have its own little section on the forum but this topic used to be called Galanthus PRE January 2008.  "Galanthus Early January 2008" remains under Bulbs so I don't know where to post any more.  Is there a moderator in the house?

Anthony I have just realised that it is, in fact, a dastardly plot to herd us up a corner of the playground out of the way :o - tee hee.

In case you are scratching your head over who is talking to who, Maggi has merged two threads into this one, so discussions since the start of January are now a bit fragmented.  Presumably things will settle down hereafter.

when I just looked at my emails and saw 17 Galanthus posts I got excited and then realised Maggi has been very busy reading all last year's pots and moving them

Ooo, how exciting.  A new home!  Thanks Maggie   :-*

I was just looking on ebay with all this chat about snowdrops being on there.  I was shocked to see something that I paid £14 for last year at wisley sold for almost £60 on ebay last week!!!

Expensive Ebay Bulb!

I see there is also an ebay Diggory already up to £51 with 2 days still to go!....

I would love to own 'Grumpy' but don't think I will be getting it from ebay at those prices!

Happy New Year everyone.

e-bay is definitely not the cheapest place to buy bulbs... I saw and see the same phenomenon with Pleione - often much more expensive than in catalogues from commercial growers  ::)

all the sellers are saying rare to up the bidding. I have bought already and I'm 'watching' others that I would like. I know what they are worth and wont top it. I'm tempted to bid £1million for Diggory for a laugh

Here's the Scottish snowdrop, 'Lady Dalhousie Castle Group', that shouldnt have a name other than G. nivalis x plicatus (G. x valentinei). Rubbish photo because of the poor weather
