Maggie, you wrote another. It is only another?
May be, Naomi is a very very big person, but looks only very normal.
Hm

Eranthis h. 'Steffi' is a wonderful find, but has only been discovered in the beginning of this year so it might take a few years before it is for sale...

Love the Leucojum too...but 'Nuell Punkte' is correctly ‘Nüll Punkte’

As Mark has indicated - it may be some years before most of these plants are available to buy.
It is, I hope, nonetheless exciting to be able to see what developments are coming along from Joe Sharman's plant breeding programme.

 Thanks to Joe and Mark for letting us enjoy the photos. 

I am delighted to learn that the cross made by Joe (between 'E.A.Bowles' x poculiform) which has the name 'David Quinton' (in memory of that very sadly missed galanthophile and member of this forum) indeed has as large a flower  as the photo suggests. It's not the best photo, but even a less than perfect portrait photo can give a good idea of a fitting tribute to a lost friend !

I'm sure 'David Quinton' will be a treasured reminder of a friend still missed  :'(
