The snowdrop company brochure has just dropped through the letter.

How's the resistance coming along?  I had mine yesterday, and I sent off a small order last night... However, that hasn't stopped me going over the catalogue again today and wishing I'd ordered more!   :-[

Well... from my perspective yes (although a couple I'm after weren't listed)  because my growing collection of snowdrops is likely to be rather modest compared to yours Mark... I can't imagine there are many you wouldn't have already. Carolyn Elwes is on it...

My collection is small.

She must be safely back on her feet again.

Ahh... yes, I have fat fingers.. luckily I can get away with this mistake as she (the snowdrop) is on the cover...  ;)

Nowhere near what people seem to think it is. I havent bought specials in many years and have just concentrated on buying to bulk up what I have. There are many I would buy but hate when tiny non flowering twinscales are supplied. I buy mainly from two suppliers these days.
