I was wondering if that was the case Mark but the numbers do go up to at least 268 on my photos of the "long Ditch" specimen area Steve mentions.  Steve, the guide offered me the number list for five minutes last year but would not let it out of his sight or let me photograph it so I could put names against the photos I had just taken. It is a shame that this area is open to all later on in the season it being too great a temptation for some children not to move the numbers about.

PS The Times article mentions 227 varieties in a private area at the Abbey.

On second thought, maybe I do resemble Diggory.

Not unless I'm feeling rich and they have tickets at short notice
No, because I went last year.  Highly recommended, though.
Maybe?  I have never been to a CGS event.

Unfortunately, we don't have the same selection of events or venues here in Ireland and travelling is not an option for me with work and family commitments.

Wol Staine of Glen Chantry Gardens is visiting a club of which I am a member on Thursday of next week. It will mean a 160 mile round trip but I went to hear him speak last year and purchased a few snowdrops and thought it worthwhile and will travel next week also.

Altamont Gardens in Co. Carlow also has an annual snowdrop open week and this is very pleasant.

In the meantime, I shall continue to enjoy postings and reports from afar.

Another in the East!

Ann Borrill is opening her small (but beautifully formed :D ) garden in Wymondham on Feb 20th and 21st, 10am -4pm. Admission £2 pp  for Multiple Sclerosis Society.  I have a map if anyone else is interested and in the area.  I visited this morning and she has had 49 varieties in flower so far with lots more to come, some quite unusual.

That's amazing, especially in view of the big freeze...
