I would rather have a snowdrop which had the constitution of an ox and would grow in any soil and make a thousand gardeners happy
I'll sort Maggi out. She's coming to Dunblane 4 weeks tomorrow.
The whole thing is lunacy, I tell you.

MaggieYou didn't quite say the whole galanthus thing was doomed to go the same way as Dutch tulip fever, but does anyone know how the tulip thing eventually imploded and collapsed? How about crocus fever, or a narcissus romieuxii craze?
Now Maggie, you have to admit this one looks different. It is early, plicate, it has long pedicels,it has 2 marks on the inner, it 2 marks on the outer, it has chunky, puckered outers, its large and vigorous, it doesn't look like most the other sort

daffydillers are too sensible to get carried away .... we embrace variety with joy but not hysteria....

Daffodils are generally bred deliberately and released at a very high price which gradually comes down as stocks increase. I remember there wasone (was it a white one?) which cost about $200 way back in the 1950s.
