Hi all!
I would like to do a swap with an Estonian friend. He is very interested in Galanthus krasnovii and wants to swap it for G. platyphyllus as he grows it very well at his nursery/garden. The problem is that I do not cultivate krasnovii. Therefore I am searching for one bulb of krasnovii. Perhaps some of think that it is not the true platyphyllus but as you can see in his photo or on his homepage (am I allowed to post the link here?) it is.
You would get the platyphyllus, so it is more your swap than mine. ;D
I hope this exchange doesn't sound too dubios. :-\
Best regards,
Arne

Arne, yes, you may post the webpage of your friend here :)
-
He mainly sells bulbs like Janis Ruksans (they know each other). Therefore I wasn't sure whether I am allowed to do that.

Arne - I may have a spare bulb of krasnovii - send me a PM if you are still looking for one.

Hi Chris!
Can I hope in future to swap with you 1 bulb of Galanthus krasnovii too? I have no a big snowdrop collection and I can share with you only true Galanthus angustifolius G. Koss from locus classicus - Dubrava mntn. near Piatigorsk, Nothern Caucasus. Or I have too true Galanthus bortkewitschianus G. Koss from locus classicus - Kamenka river - to swap..... And last spring I find in Crimea very interesting form of Galanthus plicatus M. Bieb. with very long flower pedicels.
Dimitri.

Hi all!
Today I received a package from Sulev and it was full of very good quality bulbs. :D
I am not quite sure whether this is kind of advertising but his nursery is very recommended and it should be a great support for him if there were more people from western Europe ordering his bulbs.

Arne does he grow his own bulbs?

Of course he does. Look at his pictures and will see that.

Thanks Maggi and Mark. I found the 2007 catalogue and removed my previous email so thanks for the link to 2008.

To my mind it's definetely to late for orders. Perhaps next year is better.
