and a few more doubles from the same place

Excuse the spelling of 'doubles'. Must be end of season blues or too many g & t's!

[Brian Ellis]

You can never have too many G & T's Michael

Exciting finds Michael - they are 'love them or hate them' flowers - and I love them 

[Maggi Young]

While many Snowdrop fiends are lamenting the passing of the season in their gardens.... or regretting that the awful waether in the UK at the moment is ruining the last  days of their flowers it may be comforting to take heart from tha post here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5093.msg145679#msg145679 .... where Aleksey shows us that his snowdrop season is just beginning in Moscow!!

Those are strange and wonderful snowdrops, Michael, a great find.  And I was thinking recently that you had not posted on the forum for a while, welcome back.

What do you mean 'the good form'??

Dimitri,

A wonderful selection of snowdrops. It is unusual to see so many species together in one posting as we more usually have the cultivars here in the west. Great to see them and to see them growing so well with you.

Great posting, Paddy

[Anthony Darby]

Some I would give my eye teeth for, if I had any left!

[Ragged Robin]

Really interesting to see where they have come from originally and to see such a diver snowdrop collection in your great photos, Dimitri, thanks 

[Oakwood]
