Fantastic snowdrop Mark.

Also that 'Emerlad Isle' Alan is a lovely green..........some EI's I've seen are very pale.

Me? Which one?

[Tim Harberd]

I Went to Goldsborough Hall on Sunday (HG5 8NR)..an all together smaller event than Hodsock.. So it suited me! In the middle of 2906 you can see the sales table (which only sold snowdrops... and a good range, supplied by a nursery up Middlesbrough way), with the refreshments conservatory to the left.. In the garden they had clumps of about twenty different snowdrop cultivars, all labelled. The clumps looked like they’d been in for 4 or 5 years, but the combination of wind/light levels dissuaded me from taking any photos. Still; very interesting to see various plants in a garden setting. Hellebores and cyclamen were much less in evidence than at Hodsock, and I didn't see any snowflakes.... No kiddies play area either!!

No names for the snowdrops Ian?

Ruby Baker is just an amazing lady , a real honour to meet her this year

To Welford Park Plant Fair today. Sunshine, carpets of snowdrops, and plant stalls (including snowdrops) set up on lawns with plenty of space, spaced-out visitors, barbecuing sausages, helpful unpressured stall holders - in fact a pleasurable experience and the complete opposite to the cattle market that is Myddleton House. And some uncommon snowdrops for sale such as Marlie Raphael and Prague Spring.
