Thank you, I think you got it.

This really does look like it is warei as has a very large spathe. This photo clearly shows it has split. The long pedicle also seems right for warei. I like this drop.

I wonder if it is no longer available because of a "question" I put to the seller on Ebay?

"Dear jden8887,

You say you found it in your garden? You can't find a named snowdrop. You can only buy it labelled as such from a reliable source. If it wasn't originally bought as a genuine "Grumpy" it is just a look alike and worth about 50p."

Has Roland just outed himself? 

[Kallie]

If that's what did it then thank goodness!
If you ask a seller a question can all other signed in Ebayers see it or only the person who asked it and the seller?

[daveyp1970]

well done Anthony.

Kallie, only the seller can see the question

[Kallie]

Thanks Mark.  It's a shame though as it would help warn buyers.

[Maggi Young]

Kallie, only the seller can see the question

 I think in some cases in ebay it is possible to both see questions asked and the seller's reply. I suppose that it depends if the question is asked directly to the seller or through the specific questioning method... in ongoing auctions it is possible to see some  queries listed.... and  perhaps the seller allows it??
Perhaps it is only questions such as "what size is the hat?" that are open to view 

[Shadylanejewel]

It is up to the seller to allow or not whether the questions/answers are posted for viewing.
