Does Miss Willmott look special or is it simply know for the number of scapes? Has anyone seen Glechantress?

It's a really nice little snowdrop an looked lovely when it arrived home last night.  Will take some close up pictures if I have time.

I was delighted to get 'Miss Willmott' - three scapes on the bulb I got, sometimes has four per bulb.  Many thanks to Sue and Wol.

By the time Sue told me about 'Miss Willmott' it had just sold out - looking forward to seeing photos of it.

I had a great day and would love to do it all over again in a more controlled manner and with more money!  I am very happy with the plants I bought and managed to cross many off my wish list.....but added twice as many back on it    It was pretty cold but I was running a high 'fever' - have never seen so many beautiful snowdrops in one small space - it was torture    I must have looked like a maniac running around !

It was lovely to see the members from the forum again - thanks for the lift Arthur 

I was over the moon to pick up Cider with Rosie, Gloria, Homersfield and Gemini + quite a few others

I'm just too much of a gentleman Jennie, I'm glad you entered into the swing of things with such gusto

I picked up many from my wish list and one that is absolutely delightful and has not been mentioned on the Forum before.

Galanthus 'Ruth Maclaren' from Wol & Sue - a very vigorous plant at an incredibly reasonable price.  I have a ready made clump all in one pot.  Will post a pic later.

The day was great - meeting fellow fans and looking at the work that is being done to rstore the garden - a very nice volunteer lady gave us an escorted guide to the snowdrop area.  Looking forward to seeing the snowdrops in full flower and standing proud when I return to Myddleton House on the 18th.

Did nobody go to the Republic of Ireland Galanthus and Hellebore day last Saturday?  I was hoping we would get a report on how it went.

I couldn't.  Nor did Paddy go as far as I know.

I got myself a 'clovis' 

Lucky you Emma - I would love to get that one day.  Was it there for sale or had you ordered it?

it was on the Monksilver stand, just the one. So i snapped it up, and gave it a hug  told it it was coming to live with me now

Emma, with a hat like yours I'm surprised the 'drops don't throw themselves off the tables into your arms, with little squeaks of joy.

The Irish event was attended by 125 people. I dont know if they were all Irish or if any crossed over from England. I heard Avon was in demand and lots of goodies were bought.

Alan, No I didn't attend and haven't heard any comment about it to date. Paddy

Here is the happy Emma proudly showing her mum two new plants that are going to live in Dorset.
