Thanks Mark but this is not one I remember buying. Though I don't always remember and have sometimes bought a plant twice  ::)

Thanks John - a lucky camera click at the Dunblane show last year.  I agree about this year 'yearbook' being one of the best.  Well done to Chris Sanham for doing a grand job of pulling the snowdrop section all together.   8)

I noticed on page 51 of the 'Galanthomania' book a photograph of three men taking photos of a snowdrop on a window sill outside a building.  The scene looked so familiar to me - I have a feeling I may have been walking past as this picture was taken - I don't suppose anyone recognises if this is outside the Dunblane Hall?

About Galanthus 'Marijke'; indeed in the excitement I choose the wrong town name, it is Heemstede near Haarlem. Website address is www.pcnijssen.nl

Best wishes from Holland,

A single flower bud which will, hopefully, continue to open and then bulk up over coming years.

Roma,

I think John would look very fetching in a weeding dress.

John and all:

My Yearbook arrived at noon yesterday and when I made the above comment on the pix I just had time to glance through the photos over lunch. Last night I sat down with this exciting yearbook. However my excitement was soon dashed as I read that the sensational G. 'Angelina' was stolen during an event at Orlicher last year. I had to close the book and haven't been able to go back to it since.   Extremely depressing to think anyone would commit such a despicable act.

John,

I am really delighted that 'Rosemary Burnham' has come up and will flower this year. It has the reputation of being somewhat difficult in gardens and I would have been upset to have lost it. Hopefully, it will continue to do well over coming years.

JohnW,

I meant to agree with your comment re G. 'Angelina'. It really is terrible that people would do such a thing.

And what do you think of 'Rosemary Burnham'?  Looks promising.

Was it the entire stock of 'Angelina' that was stolen? Sorry, I haven't sent off for this year's yearbook yet. Can anyone remind me of the address to send to and how much it is with P&P. I lost the slip that came with Ron Mackenzie's catalogue.
