Title: Trym and South Hayes type collection
Post by: mark smyth on February 18, 2017, 11:44:26 PM

Does anyone have a full collection of Trym and South Hayes babies/lookalikes? Just thinking today it could be a great project but what is commercially available? Where can I get 3 of each?  ;D

Trym, Trymlet, Trym Baby, Trymposter, Trimmer, Trimming, Trymingram, Trumps, Wizard, Tilly, Tryzm, Trumpolute, Turncoat, Emma Thick,

South Hayes, Phil Cornish, Phillipe Andre Meyer, Veronica Cross, Corrin,

Try painting the Forth Road Bridge whilst you're at it, Mark.  These types will appear faster than you can collect them and you won't be able to tell many of them apart.

Guys, sorry but I do not understand what plant you're talking about. The translator does not give a clear translation in French I find.  ???

The Forth Road Bridge is not the name of a snowdrop (yet!) Fred. Painting the Forth Road Bridge is an English idiom meaning a job that had no end as historically as soon as you got to one end of the bridge the start needed re-painting - although apparently that has changed with modern paints (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-14789036 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-14789036)).
Alan was just implying that as soon as Mark acquires a 'complete' collection of the Trym-type snowdrops someone will go and name another one and so he'll have another to look for; eg. Galanthus plicatus 'Bumblebee' http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182427586204?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182427586204?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

Be easy to assemble a list , if they are available or even that different is a problem all in its self

Does anyone sell Emma Thick (the snowdrop, that is....)

Wol and Sue Staines sell 'Emma Thick'.  I think they have a monopoly for the present.
