Nice pictures Richard

Here is John Gray. I have heard a lot of comments about poor habit but to me it is a most graceful and well behaved snowdrop

and Amy Doncaster which is taking a little time to bulk up

Nice selection, Warren, and that last one is very different - variegated foliage and yellow markings. Your fortune awaits you.

I hear there are already variegated plicatus byzantinus, nivalis, woronowii and plicatus. Anyone growing plicatus Gold Edge?

Hi Mark

Certainly looks a good one, Warren. Stable - well, it could just be something that arose because of a particular set of circumstances that pertained this year, so it is wise to see if these features persist over a few years.

In the meantime, I am going to practice being very nice. Good one.
