Yes Martin, that is nice. Don't have anything with such an intense green inner as that. Is it worthy of a name? When you chip it put my name on one. :)

Will do. I think it might be worthy of a name at some point.

Last one looks particular nice.  Reminds me of one I have called "Merlin', but I'd have to check pics to see whether the outer petals are as thick and broad.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

Not as tall as Merlin. A short little cutie.

Excited today because the first snowdrop package is here. It arrived yesterday but no-one here to receive it so it's sitting at the local sorting office

Well that was a let down. I was expecting a parcel from the Snowdrop Company because my cheque was cashed last week.

It was  some some nivalis 'Lady Elphinstone' from Westcountry Nurseries on Ebay instead. They claim their snowdrops are "pot grown". They are sitting in pots of dry peat with very little root growth. Avoid the Donkey Daisy

Avoid the Donkey Daisy

Isn't it a bit early for Ron Mackenzie snowdrops (and John Morley) to be arriving? Unless Ron's taking advantage of the recent good weather (and early season) to start lifting.

"Avoid the Donkey Daisy" ???? I'm intrigued. Can you elucidate?

Yes. Westcountry Nurseries use the name Donkey Daisy on Ebay. Later today or tomorrow I'll post a photo of the pot contents

Here's another source.  Another forum member's nursery - I bought Lady Elphinstone last year £3.50 each, the first time I have used this nursery - very very pleased, excellent value, excellent plants.  Thanks to Susan Band at Pitcairn.
