Yes Richard, I'm all in favour of making back-ups!

Anyway that's four of us who have Cressida now.  And, unlike many snowdrops I have found, those remaining in their original locale are also thriving.

I was going to try to register Cressida last year, filled out the form from the KAVB but then could not figure out how to submit it electronically, if indeed that is possible.  Perhaps it's lazy of me, but I did not want to go to the trouble of making print copies of my photographs and sending them by mail.  I don't suppose you know if this is possible, being in The Netherlands yourself?

... at a time my garden deeply sleeps yet in the SE Ukraine covered with 50 cm snow layer, in some garden sites even up to 1 m  :'( :'( :'( being in a spring envy of snowdropophyls of the Albion, I put here a couple of my G. plicatus and G. graecus finds from our last year's trips just to remind  ;D

Alan, sorry, I do not know anything about registration with the KAVB. Think you have to contact Gerard Oud about this.
He is also a member of the forum. He has registrated many snowdrops, so knows the way how to do it.
