Title: Dryad Gold Series Upcoming Offering
Post by: Blonde Ingrid on December 29, 2015, 03:16:29 PM: My AT tells me that Anne Wright (Dryad Nursery) will be putting a few more of her very rare & collectable Dryad Gold Series yellows on Ebay just after New Year, in the green!

A tiny number of three varieties were available as resting bulbs earlier this year and are lovely. I was lucky to acquire Gold Sovereign (see photo) which is very healthy and already exhibiting signs of additional shoots/offsets ;D ;D ;D

More details on the series can be seen on:

That would be 'unpaid staff' before he gets any ideas ;D ;D

Post by: Tristan_He on January 10, 2016, 10:49:50 PM: £280 is a bit out of my price range for a snowdrop I'm afraid. So far I think I've managed to keep below 30 quid for any individual bulb.

Looks beautiful though, hopefully it will bulk up and we'll see lots more in future at a lower price.
