John,

A great set of photographs from what was obviously a great weekend, good company, good food and excellent snowdrops. What more could you ask for?

The poculiformed nivalis you showed is outstanding, very regular and without a mark as far as I can see. Beautiful!
I also like the looks of 'Wishbone' but think 'Swanton' is pure ugliness.

What super pictures, John.   
I notice something in particular about the people in these photos, in contrast to some of the other 'drop outings we've seen....... big smiles ..... 8)  A pleasure to see a bunch of happy 'drop fiends out enjoying the flowers in nature.  What a joy to have good friends.  :D

So it is Maggi, Your female seventh sense. Next year I should go to Brian & Co. So I like galanthophile, relaxed and smiling and not over-hasty and moneymaking.

Hagen,

As you know and practice, snowdrops and gardens are for enjoyment, pleasure, friendships and smiles.

John - you'll always get a warm welcome in Norfolk.  Some of us only came for a short stay and never left!
Recognised more than 1 or 2 faces and I know who has fairies at the bottom of their orchard garden too :-X

I'm Home!  :D

Three days of snowdrops and 100s of photos to edit. Soo many goodies bought, begged, borrowed, stole. The last word is a joke! ;D

Hagen,

Here is a photograph of G. 'Lady Moore' taken yesterday in the garden. Hopefully, it will grow well for you.
