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

Is it me or do the snowdrops look like there bowing to royalty(if they could talk they would be saying 'Mam')

Lovely natural photo Emma.  May I be really nosey and ask what your second plant was - as you look so happy

Ooh Nice - I never saw that either but I did get a Fatty Puff that looks really sad now that it has thawed out.  I could not actually focus on writing that day as I need laser correction on my right eye - but I think it was probably just as well 'cos if I could have seen the names I would have wanted even more

I got my frozen snowdrop pots home from Myddleton House, stood them in my alpine house at 4C, propped up all the spathes and leaves with labels, let them defrost, then carefully watered. Even so I was sure I would lose two including Chandlers Greentip that I paid an arm and a leg for. Now, 48 hours on, the leaves look normal and springy and I've been able to dispense with the labels, and it looks as if everything is going to pull through.

Oh dear - maybe I should water them a little.  Glad to hear your treasures perked up.  I have slung all the boots off the boot stand outside the back door (under cover) and the snowdrops are all languishing there in above freezing temperatures.  Most look ok but they are going over fast.

The wheels on the bus go round and round. Very tired and on my way to Belfast City Airport. Decided to go to the Garden House event. Pot of snowies for Jo smelling great beside me.

Good morning,

I went to the sale of "Perce-neige" at Myddelton last week-end. I met there  the owner of "Glenchantry" and gave him my email address. I forgot asking his email address for contacting him now. Does somebody has it and could give it to me ? I hope so.
I have spent the sunday in Kent with friends and have seen much snow but not many drops...
I have friends living in Japan. One of them would like to order Galanthus in nurseries (UK, Belgium, Germany... )
Could somebody tell me if a nursery could spend bulbs to Japan ?
 I have already sent bulbs myself but there is a risk and it is not legal...
Thanks for an help.
All the best.
JPierre

Dear JPierre

I was at Myddleton House too - I would have said hello if I had known you were there.

Wol and Sue Staines are members on here and you can find their email address on their profile on this link

Thank you so much John !

[mark smyth]

nearly missed my flight "final call for passenger Smyth please make your way to gate B this flight is ready to leave". Oops

[GoodGrief]

Heading off on the long drive to Devon. Seems pretty frost-free compared to here in the South East. My snowdrops are still under several inches of snow.

Looking forward to reacquainting myself with galanthus and galathophiles!

Regards, Malcolm.

Hope you all have safe journeys and a great time!
