I'm looking for .... I'm offering ....

[mark smyth]

Recently it was suggested that the forum should put together a surplus Galanthus list. I think this would be very hard to do and keep everyone happy. Why not ask here what you are looking for and let someone PM you?

[Maggi Young]

Mark, there are already pages on the forum for Plants Wanted and Seeds Wanted 

[Martin Baxendale]

I can see Mark's point. There's so much swapping goes on between snowdrop growers that it might be useful to have a specialised swapping thread here, or as Mark puts it, a 'what I want' thread, where you can see what people want and can offer it if you have it, and also see what people might like in return if they offer you something.

Sorry Maggi I thought it had more relevance here

There may be something to be said for keeping you fanatics all in the one place, anyway!

[mark smyth]

I would hope those asking dont ask for the impossible.

[johnw]

Now a list of the impossible would be useful to have.  I bet many of us have a wish list that includes far too many of these and they could be posted.  It would be interesting to hear what the experts say about some of them as to availability or when they might hit the market.

I have removed ones on order but have not updated the list in month or more. It seems to grow, a modest list though.

Okay, let's make allowances for the fact that John is on the other side of the Atlantic.

I'm looking for .................. a BIG piece of paper for my list

Sadly I have only one of those and my one bulb of Sandhill Gate has taken a long time making up to three

Good luck John

Certainly some of the snowdrops on the list are very readily available in the UK.  Is there a legal means of getting them to Canada?

[mark smyth]

and some will take a very long time to be listed

[johnw]

Come on now Mark, details, details. I can pm you the list and maybe just delete the available ones, paste and post?

[mark smyth]

I'll let you have some off that list. Deeley Boppers?! Only one photo ever shown and only one plant.
