That's a cute one, Brian...... and delivered right on cue.... we could get work as a double act!
I'll wear the sequins and go in the box, you can wield the saw.....

Its nice to have paintings and plates and tablemats of Galanthus to look at as all myne in the garden have disappeared under the snow again -but the ones I bought on ebay last month are potted up and sitting in the mist propagator until I can get them lanted, so at least I can admire them  as well as discuss them with my RHS students (mist propagator is in our classroom) Dianne

My you are brave Maggi, you realise that rather than sawing you in half I might attempt to twin-scale

I might attempt to twin-scale  

I thought someone had already. At least another Maggi Young must be the one that replies to my emails at 2 am GMT!

And three more monitoring our every posting.

What happened to the soil Gerard?  It looks like it has been jet washed.    

Has the weather been that bad over there?

There are kids dying all over the world from starvation, somebody needs to get a grip here. Disgrace!

Fortunately Pat snowdrop people are generally so kind and generous that they no doubt do their bit for the various charities which help with these problems.  I think we are also allowed one or two treats for ourselves.

Well the charities benefited by the National Gardens Scheme got a little money out of me and my party visiting Kent gardens to see snowdrops last weekend.  And Jo in Devon raised over £1200 by opening her garden last weekend under the NGS.  So an interest in snowdrops is luring people out of doors to make charitable contributions at a time of year when they might otherwise have stayed at home.

At least snowdrops are not fetching the prices of Giacometti's!  Yet.......

One sculpture has just sold for £58 million.
