I suspect that our T & M is not the same as the UK T & M, but may be the name of a nursery in Auckland.

That's a shame. T & M has a worldwide seed distribution:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_and_Morgan.

Mark, ref Stans' photo 12861a of the dwarf iris bench, front row second from right is Iris Alida in pic. 12 031. Brought down by Carol and David Shaw. Bulbs probably bought originally from John Amand.

Gaining much admiration, and great curiosity, at Dunblane yesterday was th is pot of Galanthus 'Elizabeth Harrison' - arguably the most expensive pot of snowdrops in the world  :D :-X

332634-0

It is quite the loveliest yellow drop I have seen... I think because it looks so good against the woronowii foliage.  The plant went up to Joiint Rock Committee and was voted an Award of Merit.

It was a good day for Scottish Snowdrops, the Farrer Medal at Carleon AGS show having been awarded to Don Peace's exhibit of Galatnhus 'Sophie North'
Those of us used to seeing Don in Dunblane for the Joint Rock Meeting  now realise where and why he was otherwise engaged!  8)


Galanthus 'Elizabeth Harrison'
Seen here in  pix with and without flash... showing in a couple of these the Fritillaria raddeana  that was close by.

Not too sure what else might have been up to Joint Rock, but I do know that this super pot of Primula 'Arduaine' was voted a First Class Certificate (FCC) and , I think, also a Cultural Commendation (CC)
This plant, with multiple rosettes and quite bursting with health, was grown by Jackie Thomlinson, from the Glasgow Group.
Well done Jackie... what a super plant!

Great day again and it was really nice to see such a good turnout.

Do you not think there should have been more security at the hall with that lovely potful of Galanthus Elizabeth Harrison, or maybe there was but we never knew.

Thanks to everyone that made it such a nice day out.

Ah, the best security is the type we never notice, Angela. ;)

It was some folks'  opinion that security wasn't needed at an SRGC happening .........  :-\
I think it was better safe than sorry... snowdrops do seem to attract thefts.

It was a super day.
I am impressed at how quickly Stan and Graeme got their photos organised and posted - quick on the draw!

I know the refreshments were going like hot cakes... and the soup.... never got near them myself...... nearest I came to the kitchen was with emergency supplies from Tesco!  :'( :'(  ( milk and butter)

Anne and the Gang had a very busy day- I bet there was hardly a crumb left at the end. 8)

Soooooooooooooooo, there is a new classification system for snowdrops now.

It runs as follows:

Assorted ‘drops
Sunny window ‘drops
More ‘drops
Prettiest broad leaves ‘drops
Wide leaved ‘drops
Yellow ‘drops
Yellow again ‘drops

Then, of course, there is the most basic classification which came to the fore during the last week: Scottish 'drops and the other ones.

Nothing like a bit of nationalism and national pride to sort out those 'drops.
