Congratulations Anne. It works very well with Safari. Nice to see all the Narcissus I don't (yet) grow.

Anne  - On this page only http://www.dryad-home.co.uk/ (http://www.dryad-home.co.uk/) the photo of Lutescens shows blank with a small interior blue box with a question mark inside.  Otherwise all other Galanthus photos are fine on the next pages.  BTW on Safarai here.

Drooling away here....

Looks good , Anne - well done for all your work.

One thing : on the home page, at the foot, it says:
Galanthus Sandersii Group
Galanthus nivalis 'Lutescens'     
but there are no photos or hotlinks to the words- is something missing there? I'm using Firefox.

Anne, I cannot get the picture on the home page to load.  There is also a 'Return to top' at the bottom of the Growing Info page that does not seem to do anything.  But all-in-all it is very nice web site with some excellent snowdrop pictures.

Beautiful website. The photo at the bottom of the home page does not show up with google but the Narcissus species are fine. All that I have looked at so far.

Well done Anne, you're getting there!  You might also check on the cards page, clicking on the image doesn't open another window with a larger picture.

AT LAST!!! After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, my new website is finally working.  8) Please have a look at my galanthus gallery - I hope it works OK for everyone, please let me know if you have problems.

Wow Anne, that's excellent 8)
I particularly like your 'Growing Info' section, and was fascinated to read about your method in more detail. 

When you sow small numbers (<20) of narcissus seeds in a cluster, is this because you find that young bulbs develop faster when in close proximity?  Ian refers to this too in his Bulblog
Based on your experience, why do you think bulbs prefer touching one another (or maybe polystyrene beads or the like) rather than just growing medium? 
(And coming back on topic  ;)) would you recommend the same approach for sowing small amounts of galanthus seed?

Anne, I love your tiny 'scale bear' most ;D ;D ;D Where can I get it?
Do you have the plan to export your miniture narcissus bulbs to overseas, please?

Brian - rats! I should b giving prizes for spotting glitches.
Ashley, they do seem to grow well in close proximity, but I haven't done a controlled experiment, and yes for galanthus and all other bulbs as well.
YT - Scale bear is endemic to here - she got an ice-axe for Christmas ready for the next trip!

Brian - glitch now fixed, not that I have the faintest idea why it happened in the first place. ::)
YT - forgot to say, I only export to countries that don't require a plant health certificate at present, as these are expensive and difficult to do.

Give yourself a pat on the back Anne  and heave a sigh of relief, then quaff something liquid to lift the spirits.
