Very nice, Anthony,

Very neat arrangements of inner segments and well marked indeed. Good scent also, excellent. And it grows well - very important!

Is it named for a place or a person?

Barrie says that he found it in a roadside verge ::) and named it after a village in Suffolk which holds a lot of memories for him.

Thanks, Brian... the names of villages in Suffolk are a complete mystery to me  :-[

Thanks Brian. I think the history around a name adds so much to the plant. I do hope Barry doesn't mind me posting his pic? I'm afraid this year I've just been carried away with white fever. :D

I can't think why that should be so :P

Anthony I am sure he will not mind, when I spoke to him on the telephone he seemed very nice, and amazed at the prices that he was being paid for his snowdrops especially Finchale Abbey :D

The photo of 'Baylham' looks good, I like the small ovary and angle on the pedicel along with the other attributes, guess it's another one to sit and wait patiently for, it's especially nice to see something new at the end of the season.

It is not Ian's policy to be too busy to be greeted by chums... and that certainly includes Forumists, Carole  ;)  You grab him and tell him who you are! 8)
