Jennie the book and the larger version show all of Joze Bavcon's Slovenian nivalis selections. Photos of these will hopefully appear on my web site soon.

Mark - Are all the shots in the tiny version in the larger version which I have?

I hope someday he will release his finest selections.

Mark - Which ones?  Quite a few a mere oddities but there are some smasherthat he has found. One or two green nivalis come to mind though the names don't stick in the head so well. Brian will remember them all.

What on earth is this thread about?
What book (s)?
Who is Jose?
Tried reading the thread backwards but still no sense.
Tried the diary - no, its not April 1st...

Its like Miss Piggy and the others in the Muppets operating theatre looking skyward as a voice-over intones "Pigs in Space"..

Unreal. No, its surreal. Can you get as many snowdrop pics in a thumb-sized book as you can angels dancing on a pinhead, and why would you try?

I thought the picture in the first post gave a reasonable clue, didn't seem that obtuse to me! ::)

Joze Bavcon has wrote 4 books . One of his books is about Cyclamen purpurescens, he just happen to be selling that at the same time as his other 2 snowdrop books and one crocus book while he was here in the UK for the Gala.

All the quick replies I can think of that are unprintable. Mark, I like the new pic; I can supply a violin case to go with the shades, can Kent Gardener supply some armament to go inside it?
