Can anyone confirm whether a snowdrop called Amy Jade exists as I can't find a reference. I bought this one on EBay (I know, I know...)

Well it must exist Ann as it is in both our gardens, as I recall it was being sold for charity. 8)

I also have Amy Jade but I don't think it looks like the posted pic. I'll post a pic in a day or two.

"Amy Jade" looks to be a nice-enough snowdrop but I do not see anything distinctive about it.  How would I pick it out of a line-up of other G. plicatus snowdrops?

I can see something distinctive about it straight away compared to a lot of plicatus varieties - it looks healthy and vigorous.  :)

another swap from years ago but no name??

leaves are quite distinctive, approx 10 - 12 mm wide, very green, glossy with a faint pale central stripe, hope they will help, the flowers nothing special, quite small but plant has a nice habit.
