Photos of Irish Snowdrops needed
« on: December 12, 2008, 01:57:09 PM »
Can anyone help with photos of the following Irish cultivars for a lecture I'm giving? They need to be excellent close digital shots.

O'Mahoney
Cool Ballintaggart
Greenfields
Mary Hely-Hutchinson
Rowallane
Ruby Baker

I've got a not very good picture of G. 'Ruby Baker'.

Let me know if you want the original.

John

p.s.  It is a shame it does not have green tips as I know that Ruby has a real liking for green tipped forms.

Thanks John. I'll take the original please so I can crop it. Do you have any other angles?

Hi Mark

I have emailed the original picture to you.  I have also sent one taken from a slightly different angle (but that photo is a bit blurred - not sure if you can do anything with it).

David Quinton and AlanB were with me when I took the photographs so they may have a better one?

Cheers

Mark,

I do have a slightly out of focus photograph of G. Ruby Baker (see below). If you would like a full size copy then PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

Hi Hagen

I have been told that less than half a dozen people own 'G. Ruby Baker' - we saw it when it was exhibited by Ronald Mackenzie at the RHS meeting in February 2008.

Does anyone know where one might be sourced?

Willing to purchase/trade or whatever.

As it is a snowdrop of Irish origin I am particularly interested.
