I didn't realise we were being given ranks now. I think I'll stay a lowly private snowdropman.

Is this just a good garden snowdrop, or a named selection.

Arthur, it's Gal. 'Lady Beatrix Stanley', a supposed hybrid double with elwesii monostictus blood in it (or perhaps pure elwesii monostictus). Good healthy clump. But starting to look a bit congested. Maybe time to divide and start new clumps.

My email message of KentGardener's reply is longer than the actual
message here on the forum.  Yet there is no indication that he has
edited it.  How can that be?

Hi Diane

it is as Maggi guessed - if you edit a post before it has been read by anyone already, it doesn't show as 'edit'.  I guess I was the only one up at 5am today.

I decided to remove the bit about Phil trym seedling as I was unsure if they were the same plant or not.

At the last RHS show there was a pot on display of a beautiful pink Japanese eranthis but I was told this is very difficult to grow.  I thought I was told it had to be grown under glass but on reflection I cannot see why as I don't think Japan is renowned for mild winters.  Mark', was 'your' eranthis capable of being grown in the garden?

By the by, I hope to make it to the RHS London Show tomorrow.

Thanks for identification.  No idea where it came from, and I do not remeber it last year - probably a senior moment.

Will happily spread it around the garden.

Alan I saw that Eranthis in a garden this year and last year. There is another one being bulked for sale and it, 'Pauline', comes true from seeds

Hello all,
I haven't been on the forum for while, and have just caught up on all the fantastic photos that have been put on! It was particulary nice to see Glen Chantry, one of my favourite gardens!
I have some from my own trip to Colesbourne the other weekend. Hopefully my techno wiz is going to sort them out for me.
I'm off to my first RHS show in London tomorrow! I'm not sure what to expect?
