Early Bulb Day in Dunblane 2009

well, Anthony, like Galanthophiles say "the best way to keep something is to pass it around"

Well I hope they do split it and share it for this reason.  Last year I showed a tight clump of 'Claret' on the forum and after asking for some I was told no. I looked for it in the same garden this year and was very disappointed. There was only one bulb left  Mice or squirrels must have eaten them.

I would imagine that there are many gardens with Lyn's pink tommie growing, for many have been distributed  over the years.
 I have asked about the pot that was at Dunblane and I gave you an answer.... I feel it is rather unsporting to continue with these attempts to try to force the hand of another person, or make them feel uncomfortable about a decision that is theirs to make.

[Anthony Darby]

Misunderstanding Maggi. I don't think Mark was meaning that particular pot, but the plant in general. I too thought you meant that that was the only pot of Lyn's Pink on the planet, hence my comment above.

[mark smyth]

Defintely not trying to make someone uncomfortable about their bulbs. I too thought it was the only pot of Crocus.

[Maggi Young]

Fair enough, got to be careful not to sound greedy though, eh? 

[Maggi Young]

Can anyone tell me who this chap is?   

[gote]

It is Criminal Inspector Morse from Oxford
Göte

[Anthony Darby]

Bob Bustard from Alyth.

[Maggi Young]

Thanks...... I thought poor Inspector Morse had died, so I think it must be Mr Bustard in the library with the candlestick.......

[Anthony Darby]

It's Dr Bustard.

[Maggi Young]

Alright then, Dr Bustard in the Library......

[Maggi Young]

Dr Bustard in the Library......

Reminds me that it is ages since we had a get-together with chums to play Cluedo...... great game..... though Ian HAS to be Miss Scarlet every time....... I wonder about the lad at times, I really do

Maggie,
We all believed that Mr Holmes had perished in the Reichenbach falls. 
Instead he was doing zoological research, investigating the Llamas in Thibet. (sic!)
A VERY farsighted project indeed. 
Perhaps Morse staged his demise in order to give Lewis a gift hidden as inheritance.

Göte, you may have hit upon the truth.... sources tell me that Dr Bustard has zoological connections, though far from the Himalayas......
