Here is Andrew Thorp's latest list. There has been some problems accessing it, so I have published it here!
-
Thanks for posting this, Ingrid. Andrew Thorpe used to have a web site with his sales list on it but that seems to have been discontinued. I was interested to see that 'Green Light' (a snowdrop I originated) is on the future sales list. Hitherto it has been sold exclusively by Joe Sharman but it seems to be becoming a 'mainstream' snowdrop now.
-
I have just recieved my first order from Andrew and i recieved three well grown galanthus plants, well packed and didn't take to long to recieve them. I will definitely order from him again.
-
agree John - some I got from Andrew are nearer a clump than a bulb! Will definitely order more
-
Yes mine were the same Josh, good value for money.
-
Parcel just arrived from Andrew & Anita Thorpe (Andrew's Snowdrops)!
It included Emerald Isle which I decided to get following frequent recommendations from the Irish Galanthus Marketing Board AKA Paddy Tobin :)
Excellent bulbs, beautifully packed!

Hi ingrid has Andrew had a list out that I somehow missed?

The list came out in January both for drops that Andrew had available then and for drops available now! If you look above you will see both lists I posted at the time. They are very high quality drops and some packets had multiple bulbs!

Hi ingrid I ordered from these lists of Andrew's earlier in the year, I didn't think that you could still do so.

I ordered from both lists in January. The June list drops arrived today, if you ordered from the June list you are in for a lovely surprise ;D
-
Yeah I am😀

Thorpes two snowdrops lists, first, those available in January - click here (http://files.srgc.net/general/ThorpeSnowdropsJan2017.pdf) and this second list for those available in June - click here (http://files.srgc.net/general/ThorpeSnowdropsJune2017.pdf)

hannahs-plants@virginmedia.com
Thanks to Ingrid for sharing.

The January link does not work.

Try it again, Ralph, it had picked up and extra set of http !

I spotted quite a few errors and inaccuracies in the lists. For example, I do not believe that 'Angelique' is a sport of 'Anglesey Abbey', as stated. However, I have had good-quality plants from the Thorps in the past so I would not let such mistakes put you off.
-
Yes, 'Angelique' was found far from Anglesey Abbey - near Rouen in fact, by Marc Brown. Still if you were to let Andy and Anita know I am sure they would be happy to correct any mistakes for future editions. I expect it is a nightmare sending the list out to everyone.
