I would think so? Brilliant!  ;D

I should have pointed out (and I did to the seller, who is yet to reply) regarding the fake 'drop (is that something you get after a fake shake? I digress. :-\) is that if they didn't actually obtain a bulb labelled 'Flocon de Neige' in the first place and clone it, no amount of Googling is going to change it into said fabled snowdrop.

John

The giraffe/snowdrop montage is terrific but nothing can possibly be beyond a guy who translates Bulgarian at 3 am. You are wasted doing whatever you are doing at the moment; there is a vacancy for Deputy Chairman of the Financial Services Authority; you would be a shoo-in. Apply. You wouls sail into the job and be able to afford Ecusson d'or.
