David, just ordinary in truth. If you go back to the garden centre you'll see just how variable the markings are

Had to replant some today which had been spread into grass by bunnies & squirrels etc and found what must be some seedlings among them, has a pale ovary like gracilis but long pedicel, solid mark & without the narrow twisted leaf.

They sound nice Richard - any photos?

I have done it again.  I try to shorten the quote and end up with the quote without the blue highlight.  What am I doing wrong?

I visited a friend yesterday who had a pot of unnamed snowdrops.

I was impressed by the size, the shape, the marking and the green tips.

One of the potful is now residing with me

That's the definition of a friend Arthur

Thanks to a friend of mine... (on several  counts!) I have G. 'Madelaine' flowering.
And 'Robin Hood'.
'Fieldgate Prelude' is still hanging on, though a bit battered by the weather but that's understandable because it has been out for a while through some real gales.
'Imbolc' ( which sounds like a disorder!) is nearly open.
 
Looking especially pretty is a pot of one of the smallest Scottish "Castle" 'drops- G. 'Ramsay'.

Far too cold... and now too dark, for a photo... will speak nicely to the BD tomorrow if its fine.

this is the plant I found in amongst the Highdown yesterday, is nothing like nearby so I assume it is a seedling, nothing very special but it is nice that after nearly 20 years growing/collecting I'm starting to find a few odd things popping up.

[mark smyth]

yet again my Ivy Cottage/Croft Green Tips have no green tips. What about yours?

If seedlings take that long to appear I won't be around to see them    I had best start some hand pollinating to get things moving a bit swifter.

Sweet little seedling Richard - I suppose the seed could have come from anywhere in the garden via insects, birds etc?

I logged on over 2 hours ago and somehow ended up on Galanthus 2010 with some excellent photos and before I knew it I was in 2007 and Tilebarn Nursery getting excited over Cyclamen!  There is so much good reading on here.
