Nice pink gravel.

Thanks to advice from Mark Smythe and others I am now able to a) take a decent snowdrop pic and b) post it! Thanks also to Mark who identified the attached as an early-flowering elwesii monostictus, which defies my attempts to further track it down in The Book. So it just stays as an e-f.e.m. of which The Book says there are a great many. Maybe we should have a Mystery Snowdrops thread called "Bring Out Your Dead"?

Here's your photo again, cropped and reduced to fit nicely.

 Nah, we can't have a thread for dead snowdrops or any other dead plants.... it would be HUGE and clog up the entire internet........

[steve owen]

No Maggie, I said snowdrops to identify - just like the recent thread you started, remember?

OOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo  those kittens Ioes, bet they're more expensive than snowdrops.

No Maggie, I said snowdrops to identify - just like the recent thread you started, remember?

 Why would it be called "bring out your dead"  then? 

[steve owen]

Any cats or small children caught loitering in my garden are sold into slavery. I used to be more radical but the fines kept mounting up....

David, here is the only legal way to deal with the cats. Works every time.

[Anthony Darby]

I like your style Michael. Fortunately for the cats, or perhaps Heidi, cats are too smart to get caught in my garden.

May be 'Bring out your dead' could be the title of the next carion film?

hello John welcome to the forum.

When I try to look at your images my computer doesnt want to open them without warnings. Why not post them in the forum? It's very easy. Just click on additional options at the bottom of the text box. We also have a thread for Galanthus in February

Re: Anglesey Abbey . .
Sorry about the photos . . .
My photos are all around 700KB and
the system will only accept a 350KB
photo as its limit. So they have all
been discarded by the sysrem.
Shame, because this display at
Anglesey Abbey was beautiful

Edit by M: John's photos of Anglesey Abbey snowdrops are in the Winter Trip- Angelsey Abbey /Cambridge Botanics thread of the Travel/Places to visit Section.
