Galanthus Events 2009

[annew]

OOer I don't like that many people in one place, but in photo gala3 I saw some YELLOW flowers.

[Brian Ellis]

Could some kind soul who was at the Gala tell me who the people were at the far right hand end of the hall selling snowdrops? ...past Colin Mason's stall.  Cheers

Another opportunity for people-spotting at the Galanthus Gala.  John Grimshaw of Colesbourne and The Book is manning the nearest sales table.

It's hard for me as I have only ever met 3 SRGC members as far as I know:

but is this our Jo from Devon again?

[Brian Ellis]

I reckon it is John, had a quick word with Jo - who I have to say had more bags than me

Hi Alan, I recognised two happy Germans. Thank you for sharing the pic.

Hi Alan, I recognised two happy Germans. Thank you for sharing the pic.

I'm told that there were around 50 people from Begium and Germany at the Gala

Hi Hagen

a total guess here as I was not there and don't know who is who - but are these two the happy Germans?

John 

[Brian Ellis]

Also John there was a stall with Rudi and Ingrid Bauer.  This is them isn't it Hagen?

Happy with the money they were taking!

[Hagen Engelmann]

Brian, John if I would be there, I would search the contact to members of the forum like you. I know your appearance. You mean Günter Waldorf (Aicha), standing behind R. and I. Bauer. I`m only a lover of galanthus but not a seller.

There was a coach from Germany and a coach from Holland in the car park at the Gala.  You can see the leaders of the Dutch party in the foreground of Brian's photos 6 & 7.  I don't know about Belgium.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Maggi, I`m alone here near Berlin. You know our galnthophile friends better than I. May be I have a chance next year or later. GB is fine also in other times. I love Stourhead and Inverewe Gardens. The galanthophile section is near Köln.

[Maggi Young]

So, if I have this  correct, this shows Rudi and Ingrid Bauer and, behind them Aicha, Günter ?

Will Rudi and Ingmar be at Oirlich, also, do they sell only galanthus??

So the German Galanthophiles are centered on Köln ? 


Maybe it was German and Dutch, not German and Belgian! 


 
You are tugging our  heartstrings, Hagen, that you should be "alone"

There were some fantastic German snowdrops on sale; but at the sort of prices a fantastic snowdrop can command.

Maggi, my English is bad, not my eyes
