I must try and get hold of 'Brenda Troyle'... It has poise and is beautifully proportioned.

Are those ridged leaves a normal variation in G. elwesii?

I agree that this is perfectly normal.  I have asked the same question myself and this is the answer I was given.  I think it was suggested to me that one of the leaves may be pleated whilst not the other of the pair.

Haha, Maggi! Scottish weather: sleet, rain, snow - with temperatures just below or just above freezing. And no sunshine...

Alan: That is exactly the case in a few of my elwesii: one leaf pleated the other normal

Reminiscent of 'Moses Basket'.  See for example http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12754.msg324529#msg324529

Alan I've not come across that one before but I do like it. It has a really nice shape to it. I may have to wait for the price to come down before I can get one though!

Freezing here so snow not melting, everywhere very icy. Some snowdrops bought as dormant bulbs last summer. No idea what they were like but pleased with these. Kept in potting shed until ready to plant out later this year. Howick Starlight, Hans Meier and Tear Drops.

Yes, we are fortunate to have 180 degree view of the Vale of Clwyd and on a clear day Snowdon in the distance.

Really interesting. It will be fascinating to see how these develop.
