Glad your new drops are doing well. The Fieldgate Prelude looks wonderfull.

WOW, you are really far ahead of here in Kent. Nice pictures and you are very lucky to have so many coming up at once. I only have noses here so far, apart from some elwesii where the flower buds are out but not open. My drops are all behind this year and I think I may have some losses, has been very wet here this year.

I love the David baker, haven't seen this one before but like the marks a lot. If anyone has a spare bulb they would be willing to donate or swop with me please let me know by IM. Also my Mrs Mac clump have all been eaten by something. They should have been up and when I dug in found a few half eaten bulbs with no roots. trying the pearlite moist back trick to see if I will get bulblets, but no flowers for me this year.

I looked at his original feedback which be the reason for the name change - non flowering plants and plants sent in jiffy bags.

...and of course Roger, being Roger is taking the opportunity to advertise the plant sale at the nursery

Here are some Colossus flowering in the garden today.



The clump has increased slightly from last year, but most of my snowdrops have stood still or gone backwards in number.

My Haydns were looking very poor with no flowers so I lifted them, added leaf mould and bone meal. All are flowering again this year

Wow! Already! I am glad it feels good and you are happy with it.

'Wind Turbine' from Jo Hynes not quite behaving as it should in its first season here.  It is supposed to have green 'stripes' down the centre of the outer petals (somewhat akin to 'South Hayes') but there is only the tiniest sliver of green (which I would not have noticed had I not been looking for it).    You can compare with Jo's original post from 2009 (before the snowdrop was named) http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=2806.msg67478#msg67478

Stripes or no stripes, a handsome snowdrop, distinctively early-flowering and producing a second scape.

Hi Alan, glad you found that original pic cos I failed in my attempt to send you a picture to the reply system the forum has.  I don't know why. It wouldn't make the send bit available to click.

Wind Turbine is quite variable year on year, its outers usually reflex more than the one you show.  It is just coming into flower in the garden at the moment so I will try and photograph it in the next few days.

The season here is early too so I'll have to take some pics of whats out as well.

Thanks, Jo.  I realised the forum would let me review your old posts and the very first of these was about the snowdrop that you subsequently named 'Wind Turbine'.  I never found the post where you first gave it a name; it was unnamed in 2009 and 'Wind Turbine' in 2010.

I wonder if your specimens will do the same as mine this year or if four months away from home have been enough to bring-about a change?
