hopefully someone can tell me if it's not to late to order, and if so the address if possible.

Rob you will need to get in touch with Joe Sharman rather than rely on the price list that was posted. That was an availablity list to 30th January.
-
Rob you know Joe Sharman already, dont you?
-
I thought you did. He knows you. Your fame goes before you.

Hi Rob
if you know that something has already been mentioned on the forum it is well worth doing a search before simply starting new threads. I have just done a search and found all the information you could need is already available to you on the great resource that is the SRGC forum.
..here's the first page
That posting gives 'ordering details', 'address', 'email address', 'telephone number' (and unforuntaley also that orders arriving after February 2nd will not be accepted - I would still think it worth getting in touch with Mr Sharmon, after he is home from this weekends Galanthus Gala).
hope this helps.
regards
John

Unfortunately Rob you will probably find his stocks depleted as he will have been selling at the Gala today. :'(

Rob ,
the list was on SRGC on 09. January

??? ;D
Edit "if your reputation is totaly down so you can do what you like"

Rob you will need to remember to send an SSAE to him in mid January. You will then get the price list of those available for sale at that time and, with a bit of luck, will get what you order ;) - unless of course it is something like Ecusson d'Or where there were only 3 bulbs for sale :'(
-
I got 3 out of 7 that I asked for - but i am pleased with that as I dithered and waited 3 days before sending my order in!
Nice plants though. ;D

Quite so, indeed, it is always worth doing a search on old and new forum archives before posting ::) 8)

I wouldnt say good chance as the list goes out to hundreds of people but some bulbs available can be counted on one hand
-
You're aiming too high, Rob. There are plenty of good snowdrops out there that cost much less.

Jo Sharman will be selling at the Cottage Garden Society event in Hampshire next week. They mentioned at the Gala that there may still be places available. Sorry but I do not have full information (try googling Cottage Garden Society - Snowdrop Group). There was a G. 'Wasp' still on the table at the end of the Gala!
-
Rob, are you an Alpine Garden Society member? I would be willing to bet the local AGS group have plant sales.... there will be snowdrops for sale at early AGS shows.... possibilities are many in that direction..... 8)
-
Carole did you kill it or let it be?
The event is in Worthing I think
Rob the good snowdrops are available online, from the Snowdrop Company, Monksilver list .......
Ebay is not the place to be hanging out with bidding wars between Grumpysteve and Palepink pushing prices higher and higher. Palepink paid £100 for Trym yesterday.
-
Hi Mark - told you I was technophobic, I can't even move that silly grin down. Left the Wasp alone, it would have been a sting in the pocket and fortunately I already have one.
-
£100 for Trym! :o £20 seems to be the going rate. ::)

Is that right???

Rob
The Early Spring Show of the AGS will be on Saturday March 1st in Mark Hall School, First Avenue, Harlow.
There will be plenty of snowdrops for sale.
-
Yes Brian. Elworthy, Ivy Croft, Foxgrove, Colesbourne ...
-
Mark I know about those but I wasn't aware that the Snowdrop Company and Monksilver lists were online.
-
I had a comma after online meaning other options were ...

My mistake it must be the Irish punctuation ;D

Rob you're not the only person emailing snowdrop companies at this time of year. I've started deleting requests that come to me

I took a look at your website www.marksgardenplants.com and then where you buy your plants. Sadly Hythe Alpines will shortly be no more. Could you amend your list please.
Thanks

Arthur, do you know why Hythe Alpines will close?
-
Arne, the owners of Hythe Alpines are retiring.
-
Hythe Alpines closes on 31 May this year, a sad loss because they run a very special nursery.
-
Very bad. :(

the change is made
