Who are they/what are they?
« on: March 03, 2014, 03:17:03 PM »
The picture below taken at the weekend shows nine people.  Four of them have snowdrops named after them.  Who are the four and what is the snowdrop name?  On the next post I will put pictures that show a little more of their faces.

Same guesses here Mark - I think I might know 3 out of the 4. 

And I am struggling to work out where I have met the 4th one before......   The face certainly looks familiar - but a name eludes me.

Well done on those but they were the easy ones I felt.  G Sharron Louise (Sharron White), G Cliff Curtis and G Little Joan (Joan Curtis).

By the way I am reliably told you ought to know the other one!

There seems to be a family theme but the only names I can think of are Tony and Jamie-Lee.

Keep working down that line Alan you never know where it might lead...... and neither do we.   I wasn't aware Hacconby was part of Hollywood.  By the way isn't Tony Curtis dead and Jamie Lee Curtis a woman?  Might affect the photo.

As I am (just) in the original photo I am only going to say that I seem to remember the last person and/or his snowdrop being mentioned, in a previous thread this year, as possibly the largest of snowdrops. I received it 2 years ago from the finder and it is doing well.
