Sadly the Luisenpark Mannheim Snowdrop Day will not take place in 2023. This has been posted on Facebook :
Schneeglöckchentage im Luisenpark - Der besondere Pflanzenmark
" More and more people ask me - but there is no good news. The Snowdrop Days 2023 have to be cancelled again 🙁 .
The reason is that in 2023 the BUGA will take place in Mannheim, among other things in Luisenpark. The BUGA society will take over the Luisenpark in late autumn and will close the gates until the opening of the BUGA. The Baumhainhalle cannot be used and there is no alternative. Even if I were to find a location - I can't afford the numerous official duties of a large event privately. The Luisenpark has great routine in it as an organizer."

There will be 6/8 other sellers of rare snowdrops from all over the country. Many of the sellers (eg Glen Chantry, Michael Broadhurst) do not sell by mail order at this time of year, and so this is a good chance to obtain the rarest of snowdrops.

Definitely one of my favourites! First regarding the achievements of the breeder, second as the elegantly winged shape of the flowers is still unique, as far as I know. Also, it´s the earliest yellow to flower in my garden and clumps very well - starting with one bulb 4 years ago, there are more than 20 flowers this year. It´s great that now there is more variation in the yellow snowdrops which I like so much.

Woodchippings list went online yesterday, many were sold out extremely quickly which is no surprise, but there are still some good snowdrops left on the website.
