Perhaps the one on p127 of Gunter's book would have been better named as 'Foc'  ;)

Hi Diane

I had to have a look in the book - Brain is having a play on words.  There is a snowdrop in Gunter's book that sounds rather rude when pronounced in English.  And the mysterious FOC snowdrop  ::)  could be similar sounding when said out loud in a strong regional accent.   ;D

The one in the book is called 'Phuk'!.....

Thanks for the explanation, John  ;D
Hope you all have a good day with the drops.  Too cold here for anything, but I hope it's all thawed for Ashwoods snowdrop day tomorrow, and hope to see a few of you there.
