I have Honeysuckle Cottage. http://www.snowdropinfo.com/galanthus%20epiphany.html Labelled as Epiphany because thats what it was supplied as. I must change it later.

I'm stoopid. That link is Ephinany. Doh. I'll look up Honeysuckle Cottage later after work or if anyone else has a photo please post it while I'm selling loads of alcohol today. On Christmas eve one person bought £1000 of the stuff!

Thanks Mark - looks a bit like Magnet with an even longer pedicel?

Primrose Warburg is a good grower so far for me--one plant last year and three coming up right now---different climate though.

Is there a link to the Avon catalogue?  I couldn't find it on their website.   I would love a scan of it if it's not too long for that.

Happy New Year,

North Green catalogue just arrived. In it he mentions Maidwell C and Enid Bromley saying Enid is a better version of Maidwell C. As I said last year I have both. I'll have to email Matt to find out how they differ. I would just say that in my garden Enid is the better plant. I had intended to move it last year to a position where I could take better photos in good light ... but snowdrops finish and other interests take hold  ::)
