Welcome to the friendliest plant discussion forum on the net Margaret.   8)

Are you going to be a mainly 'Galanthus only poster' like me - or the whole forum for the whole year?

John passed away in 2017 - his posts remain here in tribute to his friendship and contribution to the forum.

Thanks for the messages of welcome. 

Hellebores are my main vice, but galanthus come a strong second.  Mustn't forget primula auricula, cyclamen etc etc too! I expect to learn a lot from the Forum.

I have to say, Margaret, that you have just joined a collection of like minded people, we are all as bad as each other ;D

hopeless is about right, I was going to be very strict this year and limit the number of hellebore seedlings I potted, spent the morning doing what I always do and pot them all up, haven't got room for them  ::)

Could someone let me know what the deal is at the Myddleton House snowdrop sale on 4th Feb? I assume that anyone can show up? What time do the doors open for the sale? Thanks in advance.
