Following Steve Thompson's excellent advice, this morning I diverted my AT's run via the garden centre to check for any unusual snowdrops in the pile (He was as you can imagine delighted  ).

14 miles later he staggered down our drive clutching 6 pots he had bought for £9!

As you can see the variability of the result was well worth his effort. I now need to think about extending his range 

Chapli kababs thoroughly earned today

years ago I bought hundreds of Ge in the wholesale trade: same results,
great differences and a few real fine types ...
and 5,6,7 autumn frowering bulbs

Galanthus elwesii blooming in the open garden today on what is a balmy, 15 degree north Lancashire January afternoon.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Alan Street asked me to post photos of 'Fly Fishing' on the forum as mine has pretty prominent green tips this year.  I planted one in fall 2014 and it bloomed pure white last year.  This year that plant has green tips as does a flowering offset.  Two new FF planted this fall also have green tips as does John Lonsdale's greenhouse grown plant.  Alan thinks FF has never done that in England.  Has it?  I guess we are just special over here.  Lots more snowdrop photos to post later.

1. 'Fly Fishing' March 12, 2015 (it budded up in late 2014 but never opened until our incredibly cold weather came to an end)
2. & 3. 'Fly Fishing' December 22 and 27, 2015 respectively

Then I guess the Belgians are pretty special, too... http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9912.60

Of course Belgians are special  .  Thanks for the link.  Any green-tipped Fly Fishing sighted in the UK?  Maybe it's weather/climate related.  Checked the 15 day forecast for Brussels---boy do you get a lot of rainy days.  Our winter lows are much lower and summer highs much higher.  I don't think the climates are similar.
