Rob

my aunt has various books on Galanthus from the last 30 or so years.  I love having nice books on plants to flick through and read - but having seen all the books aunty D has, the only Galanthus one I wanted to buy is the Grimshaw, Davis, Bishop book.  It is great and in my opinion the best one you can get!

(but once you have seen the plants in it, and knowing your tendency to frequent ebay - I fear you could soon be on your way to the debtors prison...)

regards

John

Rob,

I do see what you are bidding on ebay,

Rob Emberson, buy the book! It will blow your mind. It's always being read through by me at snowdrop time. All snowdrop fans will have the book open at this time of year

Here's a nice green-tipped elwesii that appeared in my mother's garden many years ago as a self-sown seedling in the gravel driveway! It's a bit leafy as a clump in the garden but very nice picked for a small vase indoors. I'm starting to use it in my snowdrop crosses.

Also some seedlings flowering in the garden but not very wide open in the gloomy weather.
