Maybe it's for your own protection, Mark?  It'll remove the temptation to fritter away your hard-earned cash on yet more snowdrops.

Eddie's / Ombersley's Ailwyn is stunning. My plants still only have one mark. One mark or two?

How many marks should they have Mark? One mark or two marks, Mark?

just got the answer ..

Ailwyn has two marks when immature and one mark when mature.

If I lift and divide mine this year will I set them back and get two marks?  ::)

Perhaps why it has attracted much stronger bidding than the other Ailwyn currently on sale on eBay?

I cannot believe that anyone is willing to pay £19.01 for 'Greenish' - that is the current bid on EBay with 2 days to go  :o :o :o

I was happy to pay £8

Green Tear ending up selling for £300, not quite the £357 paid for E A Bowles but it wasn't being auctioned for charity!!

It made £320 on eBay last year, so a slight fall in price!
