Without knowing, I would have thought some kind of artichoke Roma. It's a picture Cliff will enjoy when he's able to enjoy such things again. 8)

You are, as always, quite correct Lesley!

I have been trying out Sue's reading glasses and messing about with some random images ... the result may or may not be in focus, but at least it's a start!  LOL.

I hope I don't live to regret.....

I hadn't previously seen your wonderful rainbow drops Rob. They'll give great hope and pleasure to those who have three white ones under 589 different names. I don't think any apologies are owed to Galanthophiles! ;D

reach via motorway.

I think that you have hit the main charm there, Rudi....."the Allgäu is a real  lovely region all over the year" ... that is what makes the difference. There are places which are only beautiful at one season.... to have a place that can make a wonderful destination at any time of year is something really special.

Not dizzy but confused (more than normally). To which rainbow drops is Lesley referring? I'm intrigued.

Crikey..... let me think... it was a picture, digitally manipulated to show clumps pf snowdrops in different colours.... I thought it might have been from Grahaam Catlow.... not Rob...... :-[ :-X :-\

Well done, roma!  It's here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=7782.msg191619#msg191619

I didn't go that far back to check because of the date of Lesley's reply...... I'm absurdly pleased that my memory of the photo being Graham's was correct  ;D  Only losing part of the plot and not it all, I hope!

Mystery solved for you Anne, thanks to Roma!  8) 8) 8)

Testing, testing, testing Cliff's renewed eyesight.

Here is Canna 'Durban' or 'Tropicana' backlit by evening light.
