Title: G. 'Mrs McNamara'
Post by: apothecary on January 25, 2008, 09:34:37 AM

We have 'Mrs McNamara' on our records as well as marked on a map and yet, last year when I first went searching for them, this one was nowhere to be seen.

Early this year however, I found a clump vaguely near to where 'McNamara' was marked on the map and as far as I can tell it resembles it in many ways, not least because it was one of the first to appear.  It's also pretty large.

I wonder if our lost snowdrop has been rediscovered?


And this time I have a clump pic! :)

With this one I can make a snap ID. Yes, that looks like Mrs Mcnamara, and given that it's very near where Mrs Mc should have been, I'd say you've found it. Good strong healthy clump too. Mrs Mc does well for me too.

Being one of the first to appear fits as well. Mrs Mcnamara is always very early (often starting before or just after Xmas for me).
