Please tell me: why birds eye and not snails eye? ;D


For a snail's eye view, there is only a plate, with a knife and fork and no flower.... the snail has eaten it  ;) ;D

WOW great snowdrops! :o

Tony yours two-petal snowdrop is very, very fine (...and belongs to one of the few species which can be grown here... 8) ;D)

Here the snowdropseason is over -the last flower and the first seedpod... ::)

Oh Maggi I must think about it, but I believe it`s so like you write 8). When you have snails, you can`t have flower. Both isn`t possible.
Here is one of my actually slugs. Sorry no snails.

Thanks Hagen :) - I really enjoy all the snowdrop pics - but I am glad I cannot grow most of them - I would be poor very quickly... ;) 8) ;D

Looks like it, doesn't it?

Back to my clump of 'Magnet'. As the snow recedes I spot another twin scape in the same clump. Must check the other clumps tomorrow. 8)

Yes Anne, It`s the point. The slug was full of slime and mould(?) So I put the animal under water, to see how looks it. My respect to your eyes ;)

Years. Ian Steele got me a couple of plants long before I joined the SRGC and started going to shows.

Anthony,

It was following some postings on twin-scaped G. 'Magnet' that I first joined the forum - after I had e-mailed you a photograph of a twin-scaped 'Magnet' in my own garden to post on the forum. I haven't taken note of whether or not there were any further twin-scaled plants since then.

Thankfully, the snow seems to have left us here in the south-east of Ireland and our snowdrops are beginning to recover.

The Temple Nursery catalogue arrived today. A few interesting things as well as some unknown to me.  I've taken shots of it. PM me if you'd like copies of the photos of it.
