Well it is April Fool's Day! ;D Just as well as we'd have Galanthophiles swooning all over the plants.

Morning all, morning Martin, here is a pic of gnv-seedlings (two years old). With a little luck it is a cross between two very slowly increasing gnv. These seedlings are my hope for the next years(it is no April Fool's Day). The only things I need are time and patience.

In the main SRGC Website, Sandy Leven's report on the RBGE Snowdrop Day is now online:
http://www.srgc.org.uk/feature/features.html    - features area

http://www.srgc.org.uk/feature/snowdrops2009/report.pdf   - Sandy Leven's  report
 8)

 N.B.  In the report, the  sentence " Richard then talked about some good plicatus plants – Diggory, Yapples and Clovis."  SHOULD READ Richard then talked about some good plicatus plants – Diggory, Yaffle and Clovis.    ::) :-\

Folks, Brian E has kindly pointed out the error about Yapples/Yaffle in Sandy's report -

In the report, the  sentence " Richard then talked about some good plicatus plants – Diggory, Yapples and Clovis."  SHOULD READ Richard then talked about some good plicatus plants – Diggory, Yaffle and Clovis.    ::) :-X
