Snowdrop prices 2010

[art600]

If not Sharlockii, then what is it?  Scharlockii is common and priced accordingly, but if it is something different......

It looks like Warei which is like a huge spathed Viridapice

[Gerard Oud]

Hi All,
I see another Ecusson d' Or went for almost £150 on ebay tonight. If I wanted to get my hands on one with out having to sell limbs or my family, where would be the best place to look? I have possible swaps but wether it would be enough of an exchange I don't know!

At least you won't have to wait a year to see it flower.

Hi Jane,

Just in case your posting gets lost in the present discussion, I  don't think there will be many bulbs of 'Ecusson d'Or' available for swapping as of yet. This is the reason for the high prices this bulb commands - supply V demand.

Best of luck in your search. Paddy

Hi, Dianne, good to have you join in the forum.

Snowdrop ephemera is popular isn't it? I know Brian Eilis has a good collection of old cards ... really very interesting to assemble such a collection to complement the plants.

I'm keen on snowdrop ceramics, too... and trilliums......oh, I'm just an inveterate collector, I'm afraid.... got a frightful weakness for flower brooches .... silver, leather, any material really. No wonder the house is a full as the garden!
