That's what I have it as.  I'm sure it's right.

Immature doubles often appear spikey, or more spikey than their mature form.  So if you see something that you think might have the makings of a spikey double it's particularly important to observe it for a few years.

Alan, I missed this earlier today. Great point for all of us who may happen onto such a find. Thank you.

Also 'Mrs Tiggywinkle'

I was unsure whether 'Bagpuize Virginia' fitted into this category, in my head it is not spiky so I googled it and certainly the photographs seem to suggest it does not fit into F2.

I was interested to see 'Samantha' Emma, I still have the label....   Is Davey still about?

Thank you, Brian. I will remove 'Bagpuize Virginia' and add 'Davey' as a placeholder until we learn more about its existence. And I have intentionally left off 'Mrs Tiggywinkle' as it has been determined to be included in the F1.category of "Intermediate Doubles" within the Monograph which on P. 120 defines F1 as "constant" as opposed to the F2 which "are not". I sense the need to get further elaboration on that distinction though context would suggest the flowers on immature F1 are essentially the same as appears on mature plants and the F2s have more variability in morphology as they move from immature to mature. I would welcome more education on the distinction.

Sorry to confuse you Rick, Davey was a forum member who named 'Samantha' so better remove his name from the list!

Laughing now. Brian, that is a good joke on me. Will remove...so sorry Davey, no Spikey by your name just yet! Rick

[Rick Goodenough]

Anyone have thoughts on 'Funny Justine' as a spikey or not?

[Brian Ellis]

Definitely not

Davey was (I presume) forum member 'Daveyp1970'.  He was both a keen snowdrop collector and a snowdrop hunter who distributed several that he found himself.  There was one (informally) called 'Davey's Nice' that got spread around a bit.  I met him to speak to for the first and last time at the Harvey's Sale in 2014.  But, apparently, later that year he moved to a flat so had to give-away his snowdrop collection.  We swapped snowdrops at that meeting but I subsequently lost two that he gave me, including 'Darlton Early', which I would very much like for my Early Snowdrop collection.  If anyone still has that, please let me know.  None of the ones I had from him were spikeys, Rick.

Haven't heard from him for years
