Not sure you can have a 'buy it now auction',bit pedantic perhaps!

If you want to know who it is why not just use the contact button and ask them?

This sounded potentially interesting but the list seems to consist entirely of those white things which all look the same.

I hadn't dealt with this seller before buying a group of 10 r/o subsp. vernalis just over a fortnight ago. The plants arrived quickly, in good condition (though I would have packed them differently) and 14 of them. They're now planted in a pot and growing well. I've left him positive feedback. I'm waiting for a similar group of Lady Elphinstone from the same seller.

The picture of 'Sibbertoft Manor' on their website is incorrect, as is the photo being used on ebay to sell 'Bill Bishop'.

Reginae-olgae vernalis should have leaves with the flower. That flower in the ebay pic does indeed look like it's just a flower pushed into a pot of compost.

Having looked at the website and the ebay offerings, I have to say I have some concerns.

Hi All

I am a newbie with Galanthus and would like to build up some varieties. I have inherited a Garden in my new house that has some snowdrops and the previous owner was a keen gardner.

These prices look very cheap, but I am worried about buying on Ebay as I am just starting out and also bulbs bought now will not flower I think till Feb/March next year 2012 so wont know what I have got when buklbs arrive.

This chap does have 100% positive feedback though.

Does anyone have any advice for someone just starting to buy snowdrops?
