It`s nice Ruby, that you show your pics on our only green/white galanthussite! Thank you to all croconuts for such good pics. Next year I`m on your side again!!!

Armin, heute habe ich 10 unterschiedliche Typen von zweifarbigen Tommies eingetauscht. Schreib ich auf deutsch, da ich hier nur als galanthophil gelte.

Armin,

Good posting, nice photographs.

Hagen, snowdrops are far better than crocus! But, that one is very nice.

Stop talking, Lesley - I never said that!!! I used your red merino wool cap allthrough the winter when it was cold here!!

Probably used it to carry snails for disposal.

Anthony, we really MUST get together sometime. I was about to remark - before reading yours - that that was the cat who walked by himself and all places were alike to him. I was brought up on Kipling and can still recite The Sing Song of Old Man Kangarooo and The Elephant's Child, almost word for word.

Would Hagan or someone please go to the Colchicum thread and help me out with an ID? Thanks.

Great Pictures Armin - I was starting to worry that no one actually looked at the snowdrops while they were there!

I did not know the story of Hans Guck in die Luft but it seems to derive from a song/poem by Heinrich Hoffman which you can read here in German with an English and (I think) Dutch translation http://ingeb.org/Lieder/wennderz.html .  For some reason Hans gets translated as Johnny in the English version, "Johnny Head-In Air" being his full title.

For me it was much more interesting to meet friends than looking at white flowers with green tips

There is no doubt that human interest is a great feature of the forum. As to twin-scaling as a method of increase for Forumists, since there  have bben 79 registrations of new Forumists since the 10th of January this year, I think that there is sufficient natural increase for us all to be spared the rigours of commercial interference  What a  relief!
