I have done, but I don't think anyone's being fooled. The latest bidders, if you look at their history, are not snowdrop buyers. Look like they may be false bids trying to push up the price. Maybe the bidder and/or a friend.

Thanks, the first time it was greyed out and nowhere to go.  I did sort it, message sent.

I've sent a complaint to the seller and to EBay. It'll be someone out for a fast buck. They'll be back next week under another guise. :(

Talking of making a fortune for snowdrops on ebay, do you think I might get away with these flocon lookalikes   :o ;D ;D ;D  I fancy a world cruise  and I've got quite a few of them.

Not up to the standard of Flocon de Neige, Jo, but quite a nice double nivalis as Mark says. I've been finding doubles with more than usual good long outers this year. I suspect it may be one of those seasonal things. The season also seems to be favouring green markings on outers. All those that should have green marks on the outers seem to have good ones this year, and even some that shouldn't are showing some green marks!
