I have a request, however..... by next year, you really must have a sweater with nice snowdrops on ! Your one with snowflakes is good, but snowdrops would be better for business, don't you think?? ;)

Post by: Gerard Oud on February 18, 2008, 05:35:49 AM: I will ask my mum to knit one, i know she can. I didn't know they were snowflake's, it was the only clean sweater left after week working.

He is almost 8 years old and already recognizes single ones from double ones from a distance.

Good evening Thomas,

Gerard, keep his interest warm. Maybe one day he will search for special Galanthus with my son
who also has a good eye for different plants. He found a green-spottet-outer-petal before I saw
it in a local garden center (9 years).

Post by: Gerard Oud on February 21, 2008, 08:04:37 AM: It is very nice seeing him already explaining the difference between single and double to people who didn't even know there are also double galanthusses.
