Castle Green Dragon is a beauty, and fantastic potential for breeding purposes. I keep wanting to reach into the photograph and see if the pollen is running!

Just for show John, Rod's lecture was "Galanthus - some favourites old and new"  and they were at the front of the room for us all to admire - no sales.

 This rather fetching snowdrop is from Scotland.  :)

Just as I thought I was doing well with 'Cowhouse Green', which I bought on a visit to Rod and Jane's garden, than along comes 'Castle Green Dragon' - what an Aladdin's Cave these snowdrops are!!
