Alan it is a nice looking snowdrop.

Mike you need to remove your images and edit them with Photoshop or similar

....she is easily put out and generally sulks for a year if moved.  She is also a bit shy about flowering unless conditions are right.  Does that make her 'a paragon of female inconsistency'?

If Corinne reads that you are in trouble Alan!

There is quite a  difference between "inconstancy" and "inconsistency", Guys ......

Hi Mike

Mine came from Colesbourne 3 or 4 years ago - I've not seen it listed again anywhere.  Hopefully someone will read this and be able to help you.  I find it quite slow - increased to 3 bulbs by last year and I then gave one to a good friend as a backup - it will be a while before I can spare another.

 HaaHaa! And in the end you DID, Mike! We must have been loading them at the same time.... I wondered why mine was taking so long! It IS your resized shots that are there!
Cheers!!
Maggi

You need look no further than our forumnist Gordon Cottis, who posted a write up about this fine snowdrop just a couple of weeks ago http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5018.msg137029#msg137029 (see reply #48 & #57)

[Mavers]

Thanks snowdropman for that info I'd forgotten about that post.

And John, g.'Pat Mason' certainly is a looker, I can understand why you get so much pleasure from gazing at her.

Oh yes; so who would be the paragon of female inconsitency Maggi?

[mark smyth]

Big words Alan and Maggi. I had to Google them

in·con·stant
adj.
1. Changing or varying, especially often and without discernible pattern or reason.
2. Fickle; faithless.

consistency
The degree of solidity or fluidity of a material such as grease, pulp, or slurry.

Does this help me, no.

Some of my Marks Tall not so tall because I repotted them and this year they are getting moved again in to the soil.

I cannot comment on the grounds I might incriminate myself, Alan!
