I think you are fibbing Mark!   ;D 

Or have a lot not appeared for you this year?   :(  I've had about 3 no shows and upon a little investigation found just empty brown husks in the soil.   :'(

OK OK. Of course I have 51 and a few more.

I was thinking today that the amount of water, frozen just now, that will be in the ground might spread Stagonospora.

Do Narcissus fly bodies contain anti freeze? Hopefully not

I'm hoping to be signing and selling copies of my novel, The Snowdrop Garden, at the Gala if Joe lets me have a table. I got a trade invite and sent my money so hope I'll be okay - better be, as I already booked my hotel (same hotel that the usual coachload of Dutch visitors are staying at, as they've asked me to give them a quick after-dinner talk about the book and how I came to write it - hope I don't bore them to death; suppose I can always talk about my hybridising if they start nodding off  :) ).

Oh God, Chas, you are in serious trouble, obviously an addictive personality (joking) and now you are turning to snowdrops where there is a never-ending variety for you to chase.

Enjoy it. Paddy
