I had a bit of trouble with your photographs: when I clicked to enlarge the photographs they simply changed to an icon.

Sorry Paddy - that was my fault as I decided to change the pictures - deleted them all and put them back on slightly differently.  They should all work now.

Roma, Elewisii was really lovely I liked it because it was small with large flowers.I remember saying to John I thought it didn't look real , lovely plant. like Anthony said it attracted a lot of interest .
Anthony its a pity I never met you , I wanted to see if you were as cheery as you are on the forum maybe next time.
Nice pictures John, just a pity about the snow.

All is fine, John. Afterwards, I guessed that you were re-editing the post. Any more?

I do have one more post to do with various pictures taken in Ian and Maggi's garden - but that will have to wait as I can hear Brian has woken up, (at last  ;)  ;D), and he has arranged for me to visit another exciting snowdropy garden this morning before I travel back to London and then kent this afternoon  :(

Looking forward to more pictures and I wouldn't be sad if I was going to Kent, it would be nice to see a picture of your garden sometime.

There are benefits in riding early - one gets to see John's postings early in the morning.

Ha, Ha, Smartypants. You're the one who is alert early in the morning alright. I should go back and correct my mistake but it would take from the fun.

Oh sorry Anthony, you are much younger looking than your picture. I was wanting to meet some of the forum members and it would have been nice to have a chat with you, Hope to meet you again will know the next time. Have put my Haemanthus into the greenhouse, hope they grow with me. I do love these plants.

No Snowdrops in this post I'm afraid - but the last few pictures from my Scottish trip taken in Ian an Maggi's greenhouse and garden.


(Well.... maybe one snowdrop  ;))
