Avon Spring 2015 List
« on: December 24, 2014, 11:45:59 AM »
The postman has just delivered my Avon 2015 Spring listing, containing plenty of very interesting varieties.

Feel a cup of coffee and a marker pen coming on!  ;D

What snowdrops are on it? The same that are already listed on the website? Or more/others?

The catalogues were sent out by the printers on the 22nd and 23rd (I think), so if you didn't get one today, you should (hopefully) get it on Monday!😀

My catalogue has arrived with a very cheery postman today.  Perhaps it took longer to reach Scotland through what the London-based Breakfast TV man standing in just over 2cm of snow was referring to as "snowdrifts" in England this morning.

As you say Ingrid, a marker pen and coffee were immediately called for..........

Maxine, is it too late to email to ask for a list?

Well we had no snow at all and it hopefully means the catalogue will be here on Monday :)

Thanks, Mark, but I don't "do" Facebook.  Can anyone tell me how much the printed list differs from Avon's online offering?

I think the Avon Bulbs website will be updated with presumably the same snowdrops as the printed catalogue on Mon 5th January. Maxine will be very busy!
