Just seen that 'Greenish' has reached £19.01 and there are still over 2 days til the end of the auction 

I paid £8

I wish Greenish would increase here, it appears every year but I've had about 5 flowering bulbs for as long as I can remember

Maybe its in the Reluctant Grower category along with Boyds Double and The Bride....

[steve owen]

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

Here's mine.

saw a big clump at Cliff Curtis's garden last year, looked lovely, might have to risk moving it again.

Wouldn't that tend to increase its price?

Brian, this is rather "Mycoplasma-Infected Horror"!!       

Dimitri I think it is just plain Horror

Searching for Galanthus Hanning's Horror!

Hello fellow forum members.  For a desperately seeking garden friend I am searching for Galanthus Hanning's Horror. Does anyone know a source who sells this snowdrop?

Thank you for your help.

Cheers,

So, does anyone know of a source for 'Hanning's Horror',  please?

Sorry for not answering earlier, Maggi. I'm afraid I don't grow 'Hanning Horror' and don't like the sound of it - nor the sight of it. 

Sorry I can't help.  Paddy

[Maggi Young]

Thanks Paddy.
Not my cup of tea, for sure.... but a friend would like to have it so I'm asking  the question!

There's no accounting for taste.

Galanthus elwesii in my front garden.  All have two marks - sometimes merging into one mark.

Excellent plants and strong growing

[Paddy Tobin]

It's hard to beat "Excellent plants and strong growing." They look good as well .

if only mine looked like that. I'll check all when they are fully open

That's surprising Richard.  It increases at a rate of knots here.  I've given many away and still have over a dozen flowers (Which is the kind of clump I like here - My garden is very small so I can't have the wonderful drifts of drops that others have space for  ).

Perhaps they like the summer watering I do for my jungle garden?

That's definitely different from my clone Steve - it you fancy swapping one of your 'Ivy Cottage Green Tips' for one of mine sometime please let me know.

Mine has green tips most of the time but they are a lot more subtle.      It would be great to compare them side to side.

EDIT: - pics of mine last year here HERE
