I cant read the Myddleton list. Can someone copy it and post it?

Galanthus woronowii 'Cider With Rosie'
A trym-type flower. New and rare.
Galanthus 'Clovis'
The flowers show variable numbers of trym-type petals. Three, four, five or six on different flowers in a clump. Slow-growing but very desirable.
Galanthus 'Deer Slot'
The dark green mark is divided to form a mark like a deer slot. Only some petals show this character, ie stably-unstable. A large plant with very blue-grey leaves.
Galanthus 'Dymock'
Small flowers with a broad x-mark. A small plant with metallic blue leaves. Rarely offered.
Galanthus elwesii 'Advent'
New variety with long ovary and outers and an arching pedicel. A very early, vigorous selection.
Galanthus elwesii 'Godrey Owen'
A very vigorous form which reliably has six outers and six inners. A superb garden plant.
Galanthus elwesii 'Marlie Raphael'
A rare form with large flowers with green-tipped outers and vigorous habit.
Galanthus elwesii 'Rosemary Burnham'
One of the best of the virescents and easily the most vigorous. Short.
Galanthus 'Glenchantress'
A superb new variety with massive flowers. Should be in every collection.
Galanthus 'Greenfinch'
A rare and desirable variety. A deep green crescent mark on the outer with pinched tips. Slow-growing.
Galanthus 'Green Tear'
A wonderful new virescent snowdrop. Very vigorous and reliable.
Galanthus 'Homersfield'
A new variety, vigorous with two flowers per bulb. Tall-growing with distinctive thick outers and the marks on the inner a bit like 'Ketton' but greener eye spots.
Galanthus 'Ivy Cottage Corporal'
Distinctively-marked with green on the inners, the marks are like the two stripes of a corporal. Vigorous, but rarely offered. Early.
Galanthus nivalis 'Angelina'
A large variety with exceptionally heavily green-marked outers. Very desirable.
Galanthus nivalis 'Bishop's Mitre'
A scharlockii type with a short peduncle and very long pedicel, so long that the flowers nearly touch the ground. Very rarely offered.
Galanthus nivalis 'Flocon de Neige'
A double which reliably has six well-shaped outers and a full centre. Short. Rare.
Galanthus nivalis 'Marjorie Fish'
An extreme scharlockii with large leafy "ears" and green markings at the tips and bases of the outers.
Galanthus nivalis 'Mosquito'
A double which has the most amazing central pointel of white petals sticking out like a mosquito's proboscis.
Galanthus nivalis 'Norfolk Blonde'
A newer yellow variety with a very long ovary. The yellow is a distinctive pale colour and the leaves are a unique shade of yellow-green.
Galanthus plicatus 'E.A.Bowles'
The superb fully poculiform form of plicatus. Massive flowers, ridiculously vigorous and even the
daughter bulbs flower.
Galanthus plicatus 'Wandlebury Ring'
A good yellow variety, taller than 'Wendy's Gold'. Rarely offered.
Galanthus reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis 'Miss Adventure'
One of a bizarre group where the spathe has become white and petal-like and arches over the normal
flower like a hood. Vigorous.
Galanthus 'South Hayes'
An older, but still highly sought-after, variety with two green marks on both inners and outers. The
mark on the outer being fused into a continuous line.
Galanthus 'Timm's Hill Poë'
An amazingly vigorous plant with flowers twice the size of the usual 'Hill Poë'
Galanthus 'Trumps'
A trym-type seedling with green tips on the outers. A superb newer variety which has proved
exceptionally reliable and vigorous. Blue-grey leaves.
Galanthus 'Walker Canada'
A short plant with enormous flowers. The mark on the inner is like a thick, chunky egg-timer

Not being funny Mark, but considering who the sellers are it is not surprising.... Wol & Sue Staines, Matt Bishop, Joe Sharman, Richard Bashford, Mike Broadhurst etc...

Mark, if you'd followed the link in my initial post about the event you'd have seen this :
" The Ultimate Snowdrop Sale
Join us for our annual Snowdrop sale, where a select range of nurseries will be selling both common and rare Snowdrops. "

 There's often a clue.......

The Myddleton list is a PDF file here http://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/media/viewfile.ashx?filetype=4&filepath=/Events/Snowdrop%20sale%202013.pdf .  You need Adobe Reader (or similar) installed on your computer to read it.  Neither the list nor the Myddleton House web site identify the "select range on nurseries" who will be at their sale but we know from this post http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9587.msg263735#msg263735 that Glen Chantry will be there.

I don't know how Brian knows who the other sellers are. 
Almost in Scotland.

I knew who a few of those attending, as mentioned by Brian, because I've read in their websites etc that this is the  case.... and. Brian knows an awful lot more 'drop sellers than I do ;)

Then the Myddleton list of sellers named by Brian seems awfully similar to the list for Harvey's sale a week later.

'The Season' is a short one - and there are not so very many quality, specialist sellers - I expect all event organisers and the  sellers are keen to grab as many chances as possible to access the market.
There will be enthusiasts who are not able to attend all the events, whether by reason of time or distance and so the repetition of sellers will be a boon for many.

My comment was not intended as a criticism.  I was actually thinking of Matt Bishop who has a long way to travel at a time of year that is not the best for travelling and who has to make much the same journey twice, one week apart.

I didn't take it as such, Alan.  Your comment here echoes my feeling- that sellers must take what opportunities present themselves.
