It is a lovely snowdrop Günter, I have just acquired one this year and it is only 0.5 cm out of the ground!

Both are very nice. Maybe Gunter can show the leaves of Norfolk Blonde. From memory aren't they an unusual colour?

Rob here's a raised bed you could make. The bricks are about £1 each. Each block has a hole underneath where the brick below locks in to. When you want to move it's easy to take apart.

Günter hast Du auch ein Bild von den Blättern von NORFOLK BLONDE? Mark meint sich zu erinnern, daß sie unüblich ausgefärbt sein müßten!

I had lots of fun today in my local garden centre hunting for nice snowdrops amonst their ones for sale. They seemed to be a mix of gracilis and elwesii types, maybe hybrids. I got some funny looks from the staff as I spent half an hour on hands and knees carefully studying each pot. It was great to see them lift their skirts when I brought my haul into the kitchen. Here are some of them.
Also, my own pot of G gracilis seedlings, flowering at 7cm high.

Anthony, these snowdrop thieves must be the ones supplying bulbs in bulk. They couldn't possibly be selling the special snowdrops to which the article refers. The methods would simply not allow them to be selected.

Anne, I'd opt for the top left in the first photograph.

Anne

Your gracilis are spectacular 'big and bouncy'   :D

Are they a named form, or one from seed that you are bulking up.

Definitely one to covet.
