So how many of us have bought snowdrops on ebay ?????

I have once, Galanthus nivalis 'Virescens', I was offered it at the price I dropped out at so I went ahead. I'm really pleased with it, it flowered the following year and looks to have more tips this year. ;)

Both hands up, but mainly things that are not on anyones lists, only one this year for the princely sum of a fiver.

Clovis was for sale a few years ago at the Gala.

Wurzelwurm bought L'lo n Green for £68. I see he also bought from the Dutch man who was selling bulbils. He's also been buying up Pleiones.
