I didn't realise 'Fly Fishing' has green tips............what a beauty!

I'm surprised too Brian that 'Godfrey' is up so early.

A poc that stood out to me when I saw it at a RHS Westminster show a few ago was 'Moreton Mill'....it was outstanding. I've never seen it available :'(

Lovely photos from everybody.  Only a few in flower here but plenty nosing through.  Sadly many flowers are getting nibbled by slugs.....all you need after waiting all year to see them  :-[  I never use slug pellets ....any ideas on an alternative?

Have spent two frantic days searching for three new snowdrops.  Finally found them today....the labels were hidden under fern leaves.  All are 'no shows' which is a bit worrying....they were very small bulbs.  Does anyone growing Ron Mackenzie, Margaret Biddulph or Witchwood have any signs of life yet? I was over the moon to see Cider with Rosie coming through the ground...whew.  I read David Quinton's book last night and he mentioned how hard he found that one to grow.  A beautiful book which I have been saving to read during snowdrop season.  Will read it again and again.

Mine came from Foxgrove in 2008, worth trying them? It was on Ebay in 2011 but sold for £82 - a bit pricey.

Jennie I have many not up but I'm not worrying just now.
