.....My point was that for Forum members to say that any supplier is untrustworthy ( which was said, however its dressed up ) without any specific evidence, is surely fundamentally wrong.
At the end of the day we all know what we mean when we post,  8)
Nobody has said this.
We may "know what we mean when we post" but do we know what the poster meant when we read, read into or misread?
I thought the price comment was directed at N. asturiensis?, which by the way, checking all other UK suppliers is nowhere near £1 with any of them except the one you allude to. ;)
I only alluded to one.

..........I'd prefer it if those of you who wish to take things way off topic and to butt heads would do it privately...... thanks!

Mark, I have offered you some corms of Claret last spring http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=5072.0
But this winter I have lost 70-80% of my Crocus collection, don't know if Claret has survived - still have to check, please remind me later.....

Thanks Gerry - but such big losses always create space for a new start.
I try to think positive......but it's not easy  :-\
