Actually Val's article said that there were 300 bulbs in 2015 and that these were then chopped into 8 or 16 depending on size.  The implication was that there should be approximately 3600 bulbs by now!  I appreciate that is not correct!

"I'm loving" is a statement of that moment in time, implying an immediate, possibly exaggerated, reaction to something you are seeing or tasting or doing for the first time.  "I'm in love" implies an emotion that is ongoing.  So unless your feeling for the snowdrop are fickle, in love one day, out of love the next, "I'm in love" would be better.

I'm very much an interested observer (rather than a grower) in Brian's listing of yellow snowdrops and especially those he has grouped together as Galanthus nivalis sandersii. At random I've just picked out two pictures of snowdrops from this group, G. 'Ray Cobb' and G. 'Howick Yellow' and they do strike me as being very much (essentially) the same unless you experts can convince me otherwise. Would this be true of the others in this group and if so what are the merits of having a whole host of plants that look the same all with different names?

Not a lot on the face of it; that's why they are all grouped together as sandersii.  The fact that they were given names is either because it was done before there were so many or because they have some none-visual characteristic that is deemed to make them distinct (or dare I say, possibly because the ego of the person naming them demanded it).  Sandersii have a general reputation for being a bit miffy so a good vigorous one might be worth naming - even if it looks just the same as all the others.
