In many respects that is much more interesting; congratulations Hans.

Post by: Hans J on January 18, 2011, 06:43:58 PM: Thank you Alan ,

Yes - I confess my main interest are species Galanthus ;)
...but the problem is they are sometimes more difficould than any cultivars ( which are mostly elwesii ,nivalis or plicatus or hybrids )

Have you also seen the other autumnflowering Galanthus from today ( G.caspicus )

What you mean with "AFAIK" ? sorry but I'm not so familar with your language ;D

English "shorthand" Hans....AFAIK means As Far As I Know

Yes, sorry Hans. AFAIK is one of those abbreviations used quite widely on the internet but never in spoken English. I found quite an interesting reference here http://www.englishonline.org.cn/en/node/18196 which taught me something I didn't know before.
