Title: Photo request
Post by: mark smyth on November 04, 2013, 02:52:32 PM

This came to me today

I'm running an article on the Giant Snowdrop Company (by Jane Kilpatrick & Jennifer Harmer) in the Dec issue of The Plantsman. I would like to show pictures of the Hyde Four. I have images of 'Armine', 'Ransom' and 'Winifred Mathias', but none of 'Sally Ann' and I wondered if you might have one. I know you don't have one on your website! I've already tried Matt Bishop and John Grimshaw, Matt suggested I ask you.

We pay £40 for any image used.

Cheers, Mike

And they don't like the photo on the "Judy's Snowsdrops" web site?  See http://www.judyssnowdrops.co.uk/Plant_Profiles/Hybrids_Single/sally_ann/sally_ann.htm (http://www.judyssnowdrops.co.uk/Plant_Profiles/Hybrids_Single/sally_ann/sally_ann.htm)

Who knows? They may have asked but perhaps Janet prefers not to let them use it?

That's a good photo, Steve as, unusually for snowdrop photos, you can see both the flowers and the leaves.

Mark, is Mike Grant following this thread or is it up to you to bring the various options to his attention or should the individuals (e.g. Steve) contact him directly via the details you gave?
