What are the "redways" if they are not for smashing glass on them, and what's this got to do with swapping snowdrops anyway?

Hi Anthony

only the ones that were used when they sold on ebay for vast sums of money.

Hope I am not breaking any copyright by posting them here.

Anthony,

Is it a poculiform? Nice long outer segments, very white overall appearance.

No, Paddy. It's characteristic is the shape of the petals, which curve outwards at the tips.

Right Anthony,

I see now, looking at the flower just right of centre, that the inner segments are shorter. The outer segments do make a very good display. Nice plant.


Mark,

Sorry, don't understand what you are saying. Explain?

Ah, the worries of snowdrops!

It makes a nice display in numbers, Mark, doesn't it?

Got a bit of a shock/surprise to day with G. 'Ophelia'. I felt the clump was looking a bit congested. It was last divided in March 2004. When I lifted it the bulbs filled a large trug, one of those bucket-shaped ones, and when I replanted them in clumps of three bulbs or so they covered a wedge-shaped patch of ground, 130cm long, 60cm wide at one side narrowing to about 40cm at the other. The bulbs must have been in the hundreds. It should give a good display next season. I have similar clumps of 'Magnet' and 'Warham' which were last divided also in 2004 and must tackle them tomorrow, weather permitting.

Paddy

Maggi,

This was from three bulbs purchased in 1999. Amazing increase really, isn't it!
