What sort of situation are you growing Emerald Isle in your garden Paddy?
Mike,
Here are some photograph of G. 'Emerald Isle'.
The first shows the bed in which we grow G. 'Emerald Isle' - I say, "we" to credit myself with some of the garden work but these snowdrops belong most decisively to Mary and she would divorce me if I ever touched them. I cannot touch them, lift them, divide them and, most apologetically to those who would like a bulb, cannot give any to friends.
The beech hedge is to the south of the bed and there is a laburnum tree in the centre of the hedge. There is a glasshouse behind the hedge and all of this means that this bed gets no direct sunlight at all.
Photographs of our group of 'Emerald Isle', a single flower to show the extent of the markings on it are below.
Also, a group of G. 'Straffan' and another of G. 'Lady Moore'. What a pity G. 'Emerald Isle' doesn't grow as successfully as these two Irish snowdrops.
