The postman has just delivered my Avon 2015 Spring listing, containing plenty of very interesting varieties.
Feel a cup of coffee and a marker pen coming on! ;D
-
noooooo, no post delivered here today :'(
-
What snowdrops are on it? The same that are already listed on the website? Or more/others?

Nothing today here either, just a box of pleione bulbils that have taken what seems like forever to arrive. Shall be waiting very patiently for next postman delivery
-
The catalogues were sent out by the printers on the 22nd and 23rd (I think), so if you didn't get one today, you should (hopefully) get it on Monday!😀
-
My catalogue has arrived with a very cheery postman today. Perhaps it took longer to reach Scotland through what the London-based Breakfast TV man standing in just over 2cm of snow was referring to as "snowdrifts" in England this morning.
As you say Ingrid, a marker pen and coffee were immediately called for..........

Maxine, is it too late to email to ask for a list?

Well we had no snow at all and it hopefully means the catalogue will be here on Monday :)

Avon's list can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/groups/160399837333841/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/160399837333841/) Look at Helen Brown's post

Thanks, Mark, but I don't "do" Facebook. Can anyone tell me how much the printed list differs from Avon's online offering?
-
I'm on the Newsletter list from Avon ....but they sent me no snowdrop list :'(
and I'm also not on Facebook ...
-
Avon's web site isn't updated to show the new list
-
I got no email from them either , normally do :-\
-
Nor me Emma, perhaps the system has changed?
-
I think the Avon Bulbs website will be updated with presumably the same snowdrops as the printed catalogue on Mon 5th January. Maxine will be very busy!
-
Ah I hope not :'(
-
Failed by the postal system this morning too :-\
-
No email and no catalogue over here also :-\.
Normally a list is provided by email, maybe it still will come.....
-
I'm told mine arrived today... but I'm not there to look at it... :(
-
Catching up on here! Just to confirm that the UK catalogues were sent out on the 22nd & 23rd December by the printers, no emails or lists, just catalogues. We can't send the overseas ones until we go back to work next week because the printers won't be bringing them over to us until then, and we have to send these ourselves. We don't actually post out many overseas catalogues now, as they cost £3+ each to post. Most are happy to use the website to order, but we can't switch that on until we are back at work to monitor it in case of problems. We aim to get it switched on soon after 9am on Monday 5th, and of course we will be there to answer the phone too!!! :) ;)
-
Thanks, Maxine - we'll be eagerly awaiting the website then!
Hope you are enjoying your time off :-*
-
the galanthus list has been updated ! Now with Vertigo, Phil Cornish etc. , but not yet released.
-
Thank you for posting Uwe ;), much appreciated.
-
Well I wasn't forgotten after all, the postman has just been ;D ;D
-
...and good to see that Ruby Baker, Bill Boardman and Margaret Owen are remembered in the page on The Golden Age of Snowdrops.
-
For those who have yet to receive the catalogue, there are no extra snowdrops in it compared to the website listing.
-
Thanks, Brian.
-
Thank you for you time Brian :D
-
You are bot more than welcome. The only point of interest is that they have lumped 'Primrose Warburg' and 'Spindlestone Surprise' together and sell it as the latter. :-\
-
That is strange Brian ???
