SRGC Galanthus Poll - under the Christmas tree ....

[mark smyth]

What two snowdrops, within reason, would you be very happy to find under your Christmas tree

[Hagen Engelmann]

Mark,
an autumn flowering yellow one and an hole white g plicatus.

[mark smyth]

platyphyllus
'Cowhouse Green'

[Hagen Engelmann]

COWHOUSE GREEN will come from Snowdrop Company but the other???

[loes]

under my christmas tree I would like to find galanthus krasnovii and galanthus koenenianus.

[Brian Ellis]

I would be ecstaticly happy if I found Galanthus koenenianus and Flocon de niege anywhere near my tree.

[KentGardener]

A very difficult quetion Mark - I have had to think long and hard about this as there are at least a dozen that I covet.

Ok - so after a 15 minutes of scribbling the two I would like to find under my Schlumbergia (I am not bothering with a tree this year):

1) 'EA Bowles'
2) Rosemary Burnham (or Hugh Mackenzie)

I guess that is three 

I told you it was a hard question.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Rob g krasnovii is OK
John would you like a cissy or a vigorous plant?

[Maggi Young]

John would you like a cissy or a vigorous plant?

 Now it is your turn, Hagen: Please help a Dumb Scotswoman.... what is a cissy or a vigorous plant? 

[Gerard Oud]

Maybe next Christmas Loes!

[Anthony Darby]

Perhaps Rosie is the cissy and Shug is the vigorous plant?

[Hagen Engelmann]

I answered to his mail.
But what I would say, ROSEMARY BURNHAM is a sensitive plant. All time you must have a look to her. Hugh Mackenzie will be a charismatic plant with good blood from nivalis. I have equal plants. They do their best in the garden.
Please not the problem between feminine and masculine.

[Hagen Engelmann]

My problem, I searched in a translate machine.

[Maggi Young]

Okay, now  I understand..... so it was the choice between  G. 'Rosemary Burnham'.... being of sensitive disposition and G. Hugh Mackenzie'..... being a tougher character altogether.....yes, yes, all clear now  

 For the benefit of the non-scots speakers --- Shug or Shuggie is a Scots form of the name Hugh........I'm beginning to feel like Stanley Baxter..... a Scots comedian of impeccable timing and famous for his "Parliamo Glessca" sketches....  where he introduced the world to the esoteric world of Glasgow patois....... anyone who can't cope with parliamo and patois....... work it out!!    


 Hagen, not a problem with the translation, more that I was confused with what snowdrops you meant.... if I  had realised  It was those  two, I would have solved the mystery sooner.....

Maggi now Stanley Baxter a maestro. I remember something about a marra and a barra
