Then our thanks to your friend Heinz for this photo of such a wonderful  display!

Maggi,
I'll deliver a message to Heinz - also have to ask for the 'green tips' 

Gerd

[Maggi Young]

Gerd, please also thank Heinz  for the pic of the siskins... Ian's favourites!

This blue Corydalis is a very interesting plant Gerd!
You should try to propagate it, there are admirers for it!

I hope the plants will act in the way as the red selections do, i.e. when separated from the other colours there will similar tinted seedlings appear. Also I'll try to look for a division for you.

Gerd,

Great start to the new month with two excellent plant. It is so unusual to see large plantings of the leucojoum and the blue Corydalis solida  is very unusual and certainly there is another admirer here.

Gerd,wonderful picture of leucojums,I didn't realise that they would naturalise in wooded conditions though they do mseed around prolifically in the open ground with me.I must try them in other positions.

I can see some yellow tips amongst those leucojum.

Martin,
I can't  . I believe that's your special ' yellow snowdrop searching look ' 

- until now no answer from my friend concerning the colour of the tips -

Martin,

I grow some of the yellow-tipped leucojum, var. carpathicum? They enjoy wet conditions.

There's one very obvious yellow-tipped one in the bottom left-hand corner, and some others close by it, plus one or two others I think I can see dotted around.
