I grow Ballerina, but my record doesn't show where I got it from. I'm more methodical these days!

I am wracked with guilt, I have just realised that there was a G.Ballerina bulb for sale at the East Anglian AGS show a couple of years ago...

Brian - It's amazing what the mind processes overnight.  Be thankful the brain still works unattended.

Last night in bed I re-read a few chapters of the snowdrop bible and then dreamt I took minor orders and checked into 'Finchale Abbey'. It's getting very bad.

Religious minor orders!  

As a matter of fact we had a late meal at the Italian Cultural Centre last night.

Don't be daft.... who ever heard a tinkle of an Abbé  at Finchale ( pronounced 'Finkle') or any kind of religion at a caravan park?   http://www.finchaleabbey.co.uk/  

I knew late night mozzarella was dodgy.....

Unfortunately I think that's the only time the brain works at all ???

As to reading a few chapters of the snowdrop bible in bed, what else would one do? I know I shouldn't have said that already.  ;D

Mark, I just noticed,Gunther Waldorf had G. 'Ballerina' for sale in February 2010. You could try, maybe he wants to sell 1 to you as a dry bulb. Or else next spring in the green. Success!
