Does someone have a picture of plicatus Ben Warrick?
I cant find a thing.

Gerard - no picture I am afraid but Jim Almond sold some on ebay last year, when he posted the following details “Shropshire gardens have had a long history of maintaining important Snowdrops. This plant is a good example – preserved in cultivation as ‘EB Anderson No 3' for many years, it is a fantastic plicate! Very dwarf in stature, the very large flowers (two per bulb) have well marked green inners. It increases well and will surely gain an instant reputation! I spotted it from afar, the moment I entered the garden  which had preserved it in cultivation. Someone may be able to correct me but I have never seen this grown elsewhere!"

Hope this helps

I have bought it with lots of other snowdrop from a friend sellling his house and garden after divorce.

I noticed the name on the list and could not find any information on the net.       
But this was autumn and i was wondering how it looks like.
Thanks Steve and Chris

Does anyone know where I can get Galanthus 'Fanny'.  I noticed this while looking at Mark's gallery of photos/

My maternal grandmother was named Fanny, not Frances, as shown on her birth, marriage and death certificates.  I would like to obtain it in her memory.

Arthur - if you want to PM me, I am sure that I will be able to let you have a bulb when I repot in the summer.

I have Ben Warwick. Syn. E B Anderson no.3. I'll check tomorrow if it's in flower for a pic.

Not in flower then Steve?

No it isn't, although a flower spike is visible. Give it a fortnight and some SUNSHINE and I'll post a pic soonest.

Arthur - if you want G. Fanny now, try Alan Street at Avon Bulbs.

Curious how that name seems to have lost favour. :-\
