2010/11 catalogues

[Brian Ellis]

Great link Davey - nice to see pictures of 'ex Emma Thick' (a member on here)  and 'JMBS-7B2-6' (also found by a member on here)

Just got round to looking at this, the JMBS-7B2-6 is absolutely gorgeous, so elegant.

Emma thanks for back story well like John i think the ex should be dropped and i think its a drop everybody would admire with in there own collections its a beauty.
But what i find attractive isn't everybodies cup of tea.

Still no catalogue here - but someone has sent me a scan of it luckily.   

I was wondering what Galanthus 'Fiona MacKenzie' looked like as I have never seen one.  I stumbled across these rather excellent Galanthus photograph pages via a web search.

John there are some fantastic drops on there,Ronald Mackenzie did it for me,stunning.

There's something not quite right about Galanthus ikariae on that web site.

[mark smyth]

There are a few mistakes.

[Maggi Young]

I hope thatsince John didn't think it worthy of a name, Emma, he gave it back to you so you could give it to someone who would appreciate it??!! 

[emma T]

Nope, hes still got it.

Really good list available on the Harveys Garden Plants website www.harveysgardenplants.co.uk/. Some unfamiliar and scarce varieties available.

[Brian Ellis]

Isn't this last years list Steve?

[KentGardener]

Has it changed from earlier this year?...    

p.s.  I've just noticed it says available for spring 2010 too so I think it is an old list.

The on-website list may be last year's but their 2010/11 list is out today. Worth ringing them?
For the forumists overseas, Britain is locked in sub -zero temperatures day and night at present; up to minus 23C in Scotland. Freezing mist has left trees and bushes coated in ice - an unearthly and unique sight when the sun gets through. No gardening possible. Thank heavens for the cricket from Oz.

Marcus Harvey (Hillview rare plants Nursery) in Tasmania has a new catalogue out with a couple of pages of Galanthus (and lots of other bulbs/corms). He does send to customers overseas but you need to contact him about extra charges.
If anyone would like an electronic version of his list please send me a PM with your e-mail address - the list is about 1MB in size.
cheers
