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.

Martin - Here's the contact you wanted.

RHS Daffodil, Snowdrop & Tulip Yearbook
Gibson John
14 Waverley Road
Kettering Northants NN15 6NT
England

I don't know if the entire stock of Angelina was stolen but I'd bet it was the entire - glorious - clump as shown in the Yearbook.

No, not the entire stock was stolen. A good gardener should have two different stocks and so GW did it too.

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

It certainly does Paddy.  We can thank Rosemary Burnham and Don Armstrong for saving that one by a hair.

That's a bit of good news Hagen. Maybe I can return to the Yearbook now and look at Angelina without so much gloom.

John, just another good news. Last year we could buy some ANGELINA from original Kroatia. Now I have one bulb too.
So I will be able to compare ANGELINA with some other good new Galanthus this season, like FEDERSCHWINGEN, HUGH MACKENZIE, FEDERKLEID, AUGENWEIDE, SCHORBUSER ABRÄUMER and a few more.

Obviously I was born on the wrong side of the Atlantic!  Any chance we could join the EU?

Brian, surely you look forward to seeing it for swapping more.   ;)

This is my group of green tipped woronowii. How excited I was when I bought and brought home and planted about 10 green tipped woronowii. The next year the green tips were gone :'(

Lovely photos on the forum again today.  John - what a lovely trough of plicatus seedlings - are they inside?

I managed to get a couple of photos today but nothing special.  One of my borders will look glorious soon - it is packed with drifts of snowdrops and my own Hellebore crosses.  One cross is H torquatus x atrorubens and the foliage is beautiful with quite small flowers which are dark pink outside with very green insides.  I have a whole drift of them and they are bulking up nicely interplanted with G Cedric's Prolific.

The photos below are:

1.  G nivalis CHARLOTTE bought at Wisley last week - it is very small
2.  G Fenstead End which I really like - it is a large flower and quite tall
3.  A patch of G woronowii just emerging
4.  G nivalis Viridapicis bulking up at the speed of light - it loves it here and I intend to spread it around further back in the borders and keep my treasures  for nearer the front.
5.  My net polytunnel full to the rafters with potted bulbs, new snowdrops, Penstemons and rare daylilies.
