 I keep finding out about people who were at the Myddleton House sale that I missed seeing.

Emma's snow drop hat is a great  IDEA for ID - I have one myself !

Much as I like Emma's snowdrop hats, they strike me as a little too feminine for all SRGC galanthophile forumists to wear.  So for the present I'll stick to what is locally known as my "Captain Canuckhat" hat - see revised avatar.

Thanks Brian - I can just see the side of my head and I have that serious look on my face!  Wish I had got a Trumps from Matt now as mine has not come up.....oh no...not another loss  ::)

Today I was arranging and admiring my new acquisitions and decided to empty the pots that were not showing yet.  Sadly 'Hercules' is a gonner - bought as a dormant bulb, never grew roots and turned to mush.  'Handel' and 'Compton Court' are still firm but growing no roots - would these be suitable to chip now before they turn to mush too?
