I grow Ballerina, but my record doesn't show where I got it from. I'm more methodical these days!

I am wracked with guilt, I have just realised that there was a G.Ballerina bulb for sale at the East Anglian AGS show a couple of years ago...

Brian - It's amazing what the mind processes overnight.  Be thankful the brain still works unattended.

Last night in bed I re-read a few chapters of the snowdrop bible and then dreamt I took minor orders and checked into 'Finchale Abbey'. It's getting very bad.

Don't be daft.... who ever heard a tinkle of an Abbé  at Finchale ( pronounced 'Finkle') or any kind of religion at a  caravan park?    http://www.finchaleabbey.co.uk/   (http:// http://www.finchaleabbey.co.uk/)

Unfortunately I think that's the only time the brain works at all ???

As to reading a few chapters of the snowdrop bible in bed, what else would one do? I know I shouldn't have said that already.  ;D

Mark, I just noticed,Gunther Waldorf had G. 'Ballerina' for sale in February 2010. You could try, maybe he wants to sell 1 to you as a dry bulb. Or else next spring in the green. Success!

Don't laugh John it's not funny.  After 3 weeks of re-potting snowdrops one evening I found myself at the kitchen work bench inspecting the basal plates of garlic cloves for NBF holes and actually tossed two in the bin because of blemishes under the tunic.  Then realized I was making supper.   ::)
