Absolutely stunning, Hagen, as every year when you show your latest achievements in the world of snowdrops.

'Calebasse' looks more like snow-baubles than snow-drops or snow-bells.   
Almost in Scotland.

Galanthus - any info on these?
« Reply #99 on: March 05, 2013, 08:44:39 PM »
Can anyone give any information on the provenance of these 'drops?
Galanthus 'North Grange' - which I'm told is a tall nivalis- but where from?

and G. 'Balham'  ( or Baltham?)  ???

Might the second one be Baylham, which got a mention here a couple of years ago? http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=1498.15
Baylham is a village near me - they have an excellent farm park that I used to take my sons to regularly.

Hi Maggie one sold recently on ebay not much info but hope it helps. copied and pasted  from ebay     Rarely offered, Galanthus 'Baylham' is a lovely neat hybrid double snowdrop.  A vigerous garden plant increasing well in the garden.  You are bidding on a single flowering size bulb which I will post freshly lifted in the gree.

True enough, it certainly doesn't look like any kielbasa I've seen.

Lost Baylham twice, my notes say nivalis x plicatus but too long gone to recall if that was possibly correct.

Gail and Cheryl, John, thanks again.... Brian has helped me with this :   "  'Baylham' a hybrid double found on the side of the road in Baylham Suffolk by Barrie Carson-Taylor.

Forumists to the rescue again!


North Grange is proving elusive , though.
