There is really only one snowdrop I want this season (it's not on the above list). You know the one Mark. ;)

Many nice snowdrops but what strikes me is that I received three bulbs of G. 'Diggory' in exchange for some of my own bulbs last year and how generous a trade it was.

There is a lot of sense in purchasing a few good snowdrops and then exchanging with another enthusiast after a few years.

While there are some desirable snowdrops on the Colesbourne list that I do not have, the one on this year's hit list isn't.

Sorry Anthony,

I can't help you with that one.  When reading your previous post I hoped that I could fulfill your wish... but, alas, I cannot.  :-[

Sorry.

No worries. As for EBay ... that will be excellent sport of the spectator kind in due course. ;D

While there is chat about 'Floccon' I'm happy that mine is now poking above soil level. I'm always worried that the dreaded fly will get the specials. Next year, following expert advice, all my bulbs will be dosed with Provado
