Dryad Nursery Snowdrops and Narcissus Ebay Listing 2019

[annew]

I am very excited to announce that I will be offering our first bulb of Dryad Gold Ingot tonight on ebay. This is probably the most requested variety, and completes the full set of named Dryad Golds. I only have one bulb for sale this spring, so this is a unique opportunity to obtain this wonderful snowdrop.

Dryad Gold Ingot is a perky little snowdrop with shapely rounded flowers displaying well above short foliage at flowering time. It has been much requested because of its striking colouring – a yellow ovary and olive inner segment mark. The inner mark often bleeds into a yellow zone towards the base.

In addition to Ingot, there will be the opportunity to bid on other Dryad specialities, including the LAST Dryad Artemis for this year, and Dryad Golds Ribbon, Nugget, Bullion and Charm.

It has been drawn to my attention that some other sellers on ebay have been fraudulently listing Dryad snowdrops, including Dryad Golds and Eilys Elisabeth Hartley. This is particularly upsetting in the case of Eilys’ snowdrop as a proportion of the proceeds from the sale of this snowdrop go to charity.
I do not wish to stop legitimate selling of our plants – as a breeder I am happy that my plants are being offered by other nurseries, as I want them to get into people’s gardens – but I do not want people buying in good faith and then being disappointed because a falsely named plant does not perform as they expect. Please, if you are buying from other sellers – always ask where they obtained their stock and make sure the photographs are true, and not stolen from the internet. If you buy from me, you are assured of correctly named, good quality plants – almost always with multiple noses.

Another fine  'drop, Anne - and a timely warning about  the dangers  out there of  scammers .

Was Golden Fleece around £1400 ?  I thought i had read of one that went for over £1500 - it was a new variety and the auction was also to name it -- it was around feb 14th one year i think and a lady bought it in memory of her recently deceased father ?

I have only read about this one once so ive never been sure --  but even then are there only two previous plus £1000 ?

I had Annes auction open during the evening and when it jumped from 520 - 1050 it was very exciting - even my gf came to watch the last 2 mins

Stunning result last night Anne, thoroughly deserved!

Second highest result ever for a snowdrop!

If Carlsberg did snowdrops...
