'Hugh Mackenzie' - just so beautiful.   8)

You have overtaken me now Brian.  Where I was a few weeks ahead of you at the beginning of the season you are now a week or so ahead of me at the end of the season.  Hugh is still on it's way up before dropping.

Super rounded tepals on 'Josie'! But the last snowdrop 'Swanton' - surely this has to be renamed 'Lightbulb', or is there already one? In which case 'Edison'?

Well it's certainly a funny season John.

I think there is already a 'Lightbulb' Tim, Swanton is named for a village in Norfolk and has been around for a few years.  'Josie' is a sweetie, I can't believe how well it does, I must have it in just the right spot - sheer happenchance.  ;D

Nice ones David & Brian!  Always new ones to whet the appetite especially those yellows.

Good to see Blithe Spirit, mine were late risers last year and that caused more than a bit of panic.

Brian, Hugh is fine, isn`t it.
Your pics are better than the pics of David.
He gave to much sun to the flowers. To much kontast between flowers and background.
I had the same problem today also.

For my eyes that is a perfect snowdrop, Hagen.  All white and a good shape.
