Steve,

This snowdrop came originally from a Mrs. Mary Hely-Hutchinson, Newport House, Malahide, Dublin. She gave them to Robin Hall (or more probably to his mother, Cicely Hall) of Primrose Hill, Lucan, Co. Dublin and it was subsequently named by him. This was around the late 1980s to the best of my knowledge.

It has not had a widespread circulation to date.

Should you ever decide to divide your clump - when there are plenty and you feel the need to do so - then I would be delighted to have one. It will end up as part of a reference collection of Irish snowdrops at Altamont Gardens, Co. Carlow.

Many thanks,  Paddy

Davey,

Live in fear!!!

And, you should not be surprised by Steve's kind offer. He is one of many kind snowdrop people on this forum.

Nice to see a picture of plicatus 'Mary Hely-Hutchinson' Steve.     I had heard of this early flowering plicatus before but had never seen it.  Thank you.

Yes, is 'Mary Hely-Hutchinson' the earliest flowering plicatus?

It's certainly my earliest plicatus.

This week at the Weekly Lisse Show were several entries with snowdrops.
I believe this one was not shown here on the Forum before, so some pictures here as well.

Hello Luit, good light, good photo, good plant. Here is a near neighbour of ELSE GROLLENBERG. It is NADELSTREIFENSPITZEN. No good light in a tunnel full of snow outside.
