Title: Avon Bulbs Galanthus summer list
Post by: mark smyth on August 18, 2011, 04:54:10 PM
No chat about Avon's summer list? Who got a Fly Fishing? Did anyone get 4 bulbs in a pack?

I have to thank Brian Ellis for sending me their list.

I purchased less expensive items, but was delighted with the supersize bulbs and buying in groups of 3 should have a fair sized clump next year.

When you say 'Did anyone get4 bulbs in a pack?' to what were you referring.

The list said super sized bulbs could have 3 or 4 bulbs per pack. Only one of mine had 4 bulbs. Not complaining as the offer was a really good one

You are really cheap John!!! Not quite what I mean, your FANTASY is cheap! I'd be ordering what I wanted in half dozens at least - since it's fantastical. ;D

Ah but this one could come true. Mark on the other hand is too embarassed to tell us exactly how much he did spend.  £350 seems low.

Well good luck with it. I so envy you, being able to order from a UK nursery and then expect the plants actually to arrive in the post. :(

Unless I am mistaken - it is Mark's fantasy list, bigger than John W's fantasy.  ;)

If only I had known you wanted one Emma, I was the first response so could have had anything - funds permitting ;D ;D

Thank you, but i can wait till it costs a lot less than it did. I cant splurge on snowdrops in the autumn, i wait for my christmas bonus and then go mad in spring  ;D

I am not surprised by that Emma.  It really is a fantastic looking plant.

But this year I am 'brassic'.  Everything seems to cost more now there is just me paying the bills - and I've had a major water mains leak in the bathroom that has taken all my spare cash for 2011!  :-(

Have decided that I am going to enjoy a year of doing the best that I can for snowdrops I already own; and of course will be admiring the photographs of the flowers that are shown on SRGC.
