What on earth is this thread about?
What book (s)?
Who is Jose?
Tried reading the thread backwards but still no sense.
Tried the diary - no, its not April 1st...

Its like Miss Piggy and the others in the Muppets operating theatre looking skyward as a voice-over intones "Pigs in Space"..

Unreal. No, its surreal. Can you get as many snowdrop pics in a thumb-sized book as you can angels dancing on a pinhead, and why would you try?

I thought the picture in the first post gave a reasonable clue, didn't seem that obtuse to me! ::)

Steve, Joze Bavcon was selling his four books in the Gala sales area.

Crocus species found in Slovenia including Joze's selections
Galanthus nivalis - Slovenian selections
mini Galanthus nivalis selections book
I thought I'd caught on but now I'm confused again  ??? Is it a multi-choice question?

Joze Bavcon has wrote 4 books . One of his books is about Cyclamen purpurescens, he just happen to be selling that at the same time as his other 2 snowdrop books and one crocus book while he was here in the UK for the Gala.

All the quick replies I can think of that are unprintable. Mark, I like the new pic; I can supply a violin case to go with the shades, can Kent Gardener supply some armament to go inside it?
