So far this season, 88 varieties have been listed on Ebay. That leaves an awful lot that haven't. Incidentally that 88 would be a good deal less without the public spiritness of my friend r o howes. ;)

I'm surprised that Galanthus "Fool's Gold" has not been for sale on Ebay 8) 8) 8)

What an inspired idea!  I have heard a rumour that there is a yellow version of Trym.  I'm sure this will be highly sought-after when it goes on sale and Galanthus "Fools Gold" would be such a good name for it.

Alan - There's a shot of the yellow Trym in Günter's book.  It's the last photo on the last page.  Looks more like a very light green to me.

In which case the name "Fools Gold" might be even more appropriate.  But does the fact that it has been published as "Yellow Trym" mean that it is doomed to forever bear that name, even if it isn't yellow?

It is written: Yellow Trym. All the named ones are written: 'Yellow Trym' in Gunter's book.
So, I think it is not yet named propperly.

Maybe not intentionally, Lina, but (as was discussed on another thread) some very strange rules apply.

Joe Sharman told me a couple of years ago that he'd raised a yellow version of Trym, so I imagine this is his work.
