Not arrived here yet. Does minimum accepted bids mean they won't accept bids below a certain level? Not that I ever bid; just interested.

The minimum accepted is a 'reserve price' - so things will not be sold below that price.  

I'm not really a fan of this system, so won't be 'bidding'.

Well, Norfolk Blonde is there, and Trumps, David Baker and Madeleine, all fantastic snowdrops. Foxton and Sally Wickenden are new names to me. The NGS catalogue is always a bit unpredictable, in that varieties listed in previous years can then disappear for a year or several years.

Foxton has been around for quite a time Steve, a nice little late snowdrop.

Anyone have a pic of elwesii 'White Perfection'? Or anyone seen it and can comment on how good it is? I've never seen it or a pic, but it sounds good.

That is a beauty, Brian. I was thinking about the breeding potential of 'White Perfection', but not sure I can afford to bid the sort of sum that's probably required to ensure getting one.  :(

Steve

As an example of the reserve prices, could you please list the prices for the snowdrops you listed.  I suspect they will be too rich for my blood.

Thanks
