Now that looks very elegant. Your own selection, Hagen?

Here is a garden discovery of this morning: the first flowering Gnv of this season

Looks very promising Hagen - is this one of your your selections - would love to see the flower when it opens.

Chris, this bulb blooms the second year and is very early. Hope the flowering time is stable. And would like to see the open flower too. But next days will be frosty :-\.

Two good snowdrops, Hagen. Now, I'm glad I didn't go to the gala - the flowers here are better.

On instructions from above (the fully furnished photography studio) I am asking for your opinions on which is the better background.  The house is divided :-



Brian - I really liked the blue photos but now I see the black background I think I prefer it.  The black is a little more soothing on the eyes.  I still like the blue but I must go for black  :)

Both lovely photos....but....what is the name of the lovely snowdrop in the photo?

Brian - I prefer the black.  But there does appear to be slightly more detail on the petals in the blue one.  But black gets my vote.

Hagan - Wow.  An early virescent would be a very good one as most of the other nivalis greens are very late to flower in collections.  

Very nice pale 'VORNEHME BLÄSSE' too - I have noticed that one on your website and it is lovely.

Weather here in N.E. Scotland today is really horrible... driving rain...  but Ian says he heard the forecast is better for the south of the country so we can only hope that the Gala Go-ers and those attending the Caerleon AGS Show are having a better time of it.  Fingers crossed for you all!

Brian - I think black background has the edge. Superb photography.
