 Your first attempt at posting a photo is a complete success, Loes!

We have G. r-o just coming into flower here in Aberdeen , too, though they have been planted for many months ..... Ian has pictured them in the latest Bulb Log

I just crept out to the alpine house with a torch. How sad is that? The Scilla is 15 inches tall from compost surface level. I gave one to Alan Street at Avon Bulbs but I don't know if his has flowered. The oxalis is Oxalis "Irish Mist". No kidding.

Did anyone contact Wisley? I can find no reference on the internet for the people who sold the bulbs to Wisley.

Mark, maybe you don't have to look any further than here

Andy Emery, posting on behalf of the RHS Wisley Plant Centre, says their supplier is "Cambridge Alpines".

Alan thanks. I knew it was Cambridge Alpines who supplied it. They have no web site and no details on the internet. Paddy has written to Wisley

Did he perhaps mean Cambridge Bulbs (Norman Stevens) ?

No,  not Norman Stevens.  

Cambridge Alpines are a reputable supplier of plants to the trade, including Wisley.

The Galanthus nivalis noses started poking up outdoors over the weekend.   We have just had our first cold night which should slow them down.  -3c and a skid of snow.
