Anne is only sending to the UK & EU. I tried to attach the list here but it is over the size restriction...

Disappointing though, especially as we MAY import these and none are available here otherwise. I couldn't find the pictures though.

...............I couldn't find the pictures though.
Neither could I, in either of the file formats ???
-
There aren't any pictures!
-
""Please find attached a list of fresh hepatica and snowdrop seeds (with pictures) available. UK and EU only, I'm afraid.""
It say so on the list.
-
None in the list I was sent and copied for your folks.... :-\
-
The email I received from Anne has an attachment, hepaticaseedlist.pdf. This has pictures!

So it does - I've been so busy with Gardeneing Scotland publicity I didn't notice the attachment, thought there was only the list!

Mmm ...
I think a Skype tonight with our daughter who resides in Taunton is in order.
Cheers Dave.

Hi Folks, sorry not to have kept up - I'm madly counting bulbs at present, and the hepatica seeds were a bit of a distraction. I never thought of the NZ contingent, sorry, next year I will try and be more with-it.
For those who ordered, I'll be sending out invoices in the next few days, and the seeds next week.

It must be very difficult Anne when you have small quantities of many forms, keeping up with the demand. But we won't let you forget us again. >:( ;D

Latest Dryad Bulb Seed list - and note from Anne:
Dear All,Please find attached our seedlist for this year. As I am very busy repotting at present, please let me have your orders by SUNDAY 25 SEPTEMBER. I will then packet the seeds that have been ordered all in one go and post out as soon as possible.
Please send your order by email, ordering by ITEM number, not the name of the species, please.
You can pay by paypal, or send a cheque, please let me know which you would prefer, and please give me your address at the time of ordering, if you did not order bulbs this year.
If you are ordering from outside the UK, please make sure that your customs will allow the import,
Thank you!
Regards,
Anne
P.S. postage in the UK is £1, to the EU £1-60. Outside the EU at cost.

No Galanthus on the list, however.
-
Seeds requiring immediate sowing (Galanthus and Hepatica) were in the June list.
-
Ah yes indeed, Matt. I was really trying to hint that this particular seed list was not ideally placed in the Galanthus section of the forum.
-
Which is why it is also in the Bulbs General Section - but so many know Anne for her Galanthus I felt it would be seen here by those with a more blinkered snowdrop view - and perhaps tempt them into the light! ;D
-
Nice try, Maggi! ;)

I am waiting for some clever breeder to come up with an autumn-flowering narcissus that is hardy in the UK. I have (and love) Cedric Morris, which I understand was a chance find rather than a deliberate cross. Something earlier like Narcissus elegans growing in the garden would be really special.
Edit: According to Val Bourne here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/3337020/How-to-grow-Narcissus-Cedric-Morris.html (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/3337020/How-to-grow-Narcissus-Cedric-Morris.html)
Alec Gray, a Cornish daffodil-grower for the cut-flower trade, undertook a breeding programme to hybridise these early flowering Spanish daffodils with his cut-flower varieties between 1927 and the 1960s. He hoped to produce earlier cut-flower daffodils that would fetch a higher premium. Instead he produced classic varieties such as ‘Tête à Tête’ (1949), ‘Jumblie’ (1952) and ‘Quince’ (1953).
so even a failed attempt might produce some interesting results.
