Re Robin Hall,

I have had occasion to speak to Robin on a number of occasions and also correspond with him on a few other occasions over the past few months and have found him,  to be very helpful, pleasant. He makes a point to refuse to put a snowdrop into circulation without years of observing it in his own garden until he is sure that it will make a good garden plant. As an example, while G. 'Kenneth Hall' is one dear to his heart, named after his father, he does not consider it a suitable plant to let into general circulation and keeps it as one to be treasured by the family alone.

On the other hand, G. 'Cicely Hall' is an outstanding snowdrop, certainly contending with G. 'Hill Poe' as the best Irish snowdrop.

For many years Mrs. Hall gave snowdrops to friends who would visit the garden and these were known as the 'Primrose Hill Specials' and there are certainly snowdrops being distributed under this name, even such named as 'Primrose Hill Special No. 1', No. 2 etc. In fact this name was applied to every and any snowdrop which Mrs. Hall gave to friends and was never intended to distinguish any one snowdrop in particular. In fact, these were snowdrops which while good were not good enough for Mrs. Hall or Robin to name and distribute.

There are a number of snowdrops which originated in Primrose Hill and were named by either Mrs. Hall or by Robin, all good snowdrops.

Hagen it will be great to have you post pictures, see these pages for help;
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=41.0    this page has answers to lots of questions and explains about picture posting
and this is the official HELP page for posting : http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=help;page=post

Basic rule is keep  each photo at about 700x 600 pixels , less than 300k size and only ten pix per post.
I think you should find all you need on those two pages, Hagen.... good luck!

I`m on the way

excellent, Hagen but it would be better to reduce the pixel size of your photo to less than 700 wide by 600 high.... then there is little need for most viewers to have to scroll across and up an down to view your picture as a whole.
