Didn't I say "don't look now"? 159 people did and 125 of them via this forum

70 looked at Bill Clark
60 looked at Wendy's Gold

For some reason 33 looked at EA Bowles and 10 at Brian Spence. Checking what's on Ebay no doubt

A few lurkers have told me to hurry up with the update which is a year late - sorry.

I'm off sick with Norovirus which isn't very nice and a pain in the a$$ - pun intended - and it's given me a chance to work on the update.

I haven't checked for mistakes but will do so tomorrow. Bill Clark is fixed.

Mark ,

I have just looked at your galanthusgallery ....I'm a bit surprised about Galanthus "Trojan"

http://www.snowdropinfo.com/galanthus%20trojan.html

My first question is to the name ....do you mean Gal. trojanus ?
Why you write "Trojan" ?
or is this a other Galanthus ?
My second question is to your picture ....it looks very different to the pic in the Snowdrop book from Bishop/Grimsaw,Davis ( page 56 )and the same difference is to the drawning on page 3

Do you have more pictures from this plant ?

Thank you in advance
Hans

Mark

The photo is correct 'St Pancras', but somehow an extra H has crept into the list - it reads ST PANCHRAS
