A wee bird told me Ronald McKenzie sent out non flowering bulbs again.

Yes Ron did Mark, but for me I appreciated being sent two smaller bulbs of Ron Mackenzie in place of a flowering size bulb than getting none at all. This way I know I have it for next year and don't end up ordering the same cultivar from more than one source not knowing what will be available at the time of dispatch. In like manor Colin included a non flowering size Rosemary Burnham for £10 which again I much preferred to none at all.

Colin Mason of Fieldgate Snowdrops. Colin issues a list in June and sometimes doesn't have enough flowering sized bulbs by the time he supplies his orders so reduces the price of the bulb accordingly.

Colin doesnt do mail order but brings bulbs to snowdrop events like the CGS snowdrop day and the Gala. My guess is his available list goes only to people he wants to send it to. I have asked a few times for the list but the answer is always the same "I don't do a list".
