snowdrop web site update

[mark smyth]

Many of you have been asking when will my snowdropinfo.com/gallery2007 be updated. I agreee two years is too long to wait. Over the last week I have added around 150 new photos and updated other pages. Many thanks to those who proof read for mistakes. I'm waiting for permission to use some photos and then I will post the new link.

Super gallery and a real help with ID-ing for some of us non-experts.

[mark smyth]

Thanks Steve.

I forgot to say thanks to Martin and Janet.

For the time being the page with an A-Z of names will not change but I have removed the link

The unseen power of this web site strikes again. In 8 days nearly 16,600 people have visited my snowdrop gallery. I really have to start  selling advertising to bulb suppliers

[Ragged Robin]

Mark, there has to be a way to market the wonderful images and information you provide - maybe a membership fee to view the full gallery - or photo download fee?

Mark,

Is the G. 'Corona North' you have listed the one which originated at Altamont Garden in County Carlow?

If so, this is  not the official/published name. A snowdrop grown by Corona North at Altamont and which was intended to be named after her was subsequently named as 'Green Lantern'.

I must search out a photograph.

Paddy

[mark smyth]

Yes it is Paddy. I was informed it was the other way round named 'Green Lantern' and changed to 'Corona North' in honour of Corona

[Paddy Tobin]

No, Mark, it is certainly 'Green Lantern'. Not the easiest of snowdrops to keep going by all accounts; clumps seem to resent being lifted and divided and losses following this have set back the bulking up of the cultivar. Somewhat in the same manner as your Northern Ireland G. 'Rowallane' it would seem.  

Did I also notice you were looking for a bulb of G. 'Lady Moore'? If so, I gave some to Bob and Margaret and can send you on some in the coming season but I will leave it to you to remind me of this. This is another snowdrop which has, at least, two different bulbs under the name. I have bulbs which came to me from a lady who received them from Lady Moore (- with written authentication, if you don't mind!)

Paddy, why don't they send bulbs away for twin scaling?

I've just totalled the visits to my snowdrop web site. This is the biggested year so far. Up to yesterday there were 2,230,016 visits. £1 per visit from now on

I just counted the 2009 hits for marksgardenplants. Again it's the most hits ever 5,890,000
