Not being a proper "Galanthophile" I wouldn't really know so correct me if I'm wrong but I had formed the view that G. 'Hippolyta' isn't rare anymore, so why £7.50 ???

David,

When demand is high there is no such thing as a cheap snowdrop.

I would have thought £5 or £6 would be OK. It is a lovely snowdrop. The price  is like comparing car prices or supermarket prices. One will always be cheapest/dearest. It is a disappointing list this year.

I heard Mr Howes is selling on Ebay now

Hi Anthony

It shows as £15 in the Colesbourne online list I can see.  Can I ask which list have you seen it on for £30?

I think that this may be Harveys Garden Plants. It was listed as £30 this year.

Good Lord!   :o

I've not been privy to the Harvey's list (is it something you have received in the post or is it online)?

£30 sounds rather  extremely OTT for a bulb of Wendys Gold.   :-\
