Had the latest catalogue arrive in the post this morning,not sure that I agree with the for sale by tender bulbs ,but that's just me

[Brian Ellis]

No it's not just you Chas  Apparently it is so that those on the other side of the channel have a chance of getting the specials - how that is supposed to work I don't know

I don't have a copy as I didn't request one so can you tell me if there are an Irish snowdrops listed - I'm beginning to concentrate on these as the general range of snowdrops available is simply becoming too bewildering for me. Irish and especially good ones from now on - of course, snowdrops received from friends are immediately special.

G. 'Ruby Baker' is one I have been on the lookout for. It was listed earlier in the year by one of the suppliers, Kent Lass told  me of it, but it was quite expensive.

Here, a friend told me during the week that she had two snowdrops which she had received from Keith Lamb and they were seedlings in Keith's garden. These would  be especially treasured - see my post of G. 'Castlegar' in the December thread.

A good looking virescent plicatus is listed. How did it get there?

Does anyone think the prices are higher than they should be?

How good? Has anyone seen plicatus 'Castle Green Dragon'? Might be good for breeding purposes. I have my own seed-raised green tipped plicatus that I'm using for crosses, but another one would be useful if it's a good one, to inter-cross with mine as well as other green tips and virescents.

Not in the flesh, but even then I wouldn't bid for one, I'd rather I was quoted a price.

[Martin Baxendale]

Anyone have a photo they can post?

[Martin Baxendale]

I'd prefer fixed prices too, Brian. But it's difficult when there's something being offered that would be good for breeding purposes and I'm not getting any younger

Thanks Mark, I didn't know there was a pic on your website (under the old name). That is a very nice looking virescent plicatus. Better than my seedling.

No, no Lesley, after ordering from the snowdrop catalogues that should be poor (as in penniless)
