I don't recall ever seeing 'Fiona's Gold' except in pictures.  It's not a commonly-grown snowdrop.  That sometimes implies that a snowdrop just doesn't grow very well so there are few to spare.  Or it could just imply that it is a new cultivar, so there are few to spare.

The Snowdrop Company (Ron Mackenzie) was selling it in 2011 for £30.  It's a slow grower I think.
