Fancy that... I may have got the wrong end of the stick..... it's happened before  :-[


 edit after checking.... Yes, I got confused... it is 'Yaffle ' that I have been told is more greenery-yallery, not 'Madaleine' - my apologies to dear Madaleine!

Are these nivalis Brian?  I vaguely recall the first name, I wonder who at WGP found it.

I got Galanthus nivalis 'Chrome Yellow' from Joe Sharman last year. It is coming up with a flower bud. If the slugs will not eat it, I shall see soon how yellow it will performe in my garden ...

Seems to be a lot of yellows - or more or less of that colour - but where do a member outside EEC get one? Without eating porridge the next months?
