KentGardener's Galanthus Blog 2012

[Olga Bondareva]

You are most welcome to visit any time Olga.  

Thank you John! Hope one day...
Your last pictures are inhumane!   Here we need to wait 2-3 months for such flowering.

my father will have reached the age of 80!  (and I find myself wondering, does that make me old?...   )

Yes  

10 - It was brilliant to see that David Quinton had managed the trip into London  

Absolutely, I hope you had a great day David, well done Katherine for bullying him into it.

...and of course many thanks John for a great report for those of us who didn't make it

Hi John, if this is to be {near to} the end for this year can I say how much I have enjoyed your Blog { a lot !!}. I am not, by a long way, a serious grower of Galanthus, just a few in one of my bulb beds. However I have followed your blog daily and found it most enjoyable and educational, along with your other posts on other threads. Looking forard to next years posts already.

Back home again, now I can see all pics of your/our wonderfull trips with John. He is the best host I met in Kent. And Kent was our world.
But thank you so much to all forum members we met too. It was a great time with you all. We have a good net of friends in GB!!!

John - really great photos from the show and what a shame that is the end of your blogging for this year.  My dad was 80yrs old this year......and I am old....you're still a youngster!  Maybe you will post a few pics from Madeira?  Have a fantastic holiday enjoying quality time with your parents.

Hagen - I hoped to see you at the RHS but when I got there I was told you had already left for your journey home.  Maybe I will meet you another time.  Glad you enjoyed your trip - it looks like you have had a lot of fun.  Even if you never saw as many snowdrops as you had hoped - you got to meet many people in the snowdrop world.  Look forward to your photos.
