Hi Brian

that Elwesii proculiformis is a stunner too - what a lucky lad you were to visit such a good collection.  I have seen and admired one before that was posted in a thread somewhen by Diane Whitehead.  Yep, another at the top of my wants list! 

You guys must stop posting all these great pictures as I am left feeling rather inadequate!

I've been admiring the recent photographs posted but unfortunately I have been suffering with flu all week and not been able to get out and take some of my own. I have posted a couple that I took last week just so I don't feel left out  :)

If I get the photos attached correctly, you should see Diggory and Rosemary Burnham.

Great Pictures David.

sorry to hear you have been under the weather - me too!  I keep thinking it has gone and then suddenly feel cr*p again and sleep for 18 hours a day!

How come everyone seems to have Rosemary Burnham except me!  I may have to try the coloured liquid in a vase with a snowdrop in it, that someone did last year, to see if I can get a cheap mans version of R. B.

John,

It looks like we have more in common than just our current state of health! I don't have Rosemary Burnham either. I do have a photograph though!

I hope that you feel better soon.

And I have to say I may have seen a nice clump but the nearest I can do is Greenish which is about to come out, this is just for Maggie who obviously by her last remark wants to see more pictures of 'drops ;D ;D ;D

Hope you are recovering David, you've only got a fortnight before GC day :o

Rob, Narcissus, Galanthus and all other Amarylids can get infected with Stag. Amaryllis are the worst and as far as I know they are all infected.

Tulip Fire according to the 'net is caused by Botrytis tulipae. Botrytis will attack snowdrops emerging through composted bark if it is applied after the snowdrops emerge

Here's a not so good photo of 'Greenfinch' stuck in a trough on the north side of the house. In the same trough is a snowdrop that I havent a clue what it is.

There's no sign of mine yet. I may have to do a little gentle digging to see what's happened.

I know. I'm supposed to be going to Colesbourne on Saturday with my wife. She's ill too but is a couple of days behind me so it will be touch and go. The frustrating thing is that I can see the snowdrops out of the window but can't go out to look closer yet. My fear is that they will be past their best due to the warm weather before I am well enough to get out again.

Hi David

we are meant to be going to Colesbourne on Saturday too - as long as there are no floods! - and my other half doesn't sucumb to the lurgy too!

Say hi if we all get there.  I will not be able to spot you from your profile - but we are easily spotted, the fat bald blokes in camouflage!   ;D
