HI For those of you who have bought, or who are thinking of buying Rhodophiala bagnoldii seed from Chiltern Seeds. Mine were ordered on 7 January, sown on 16 January, germinated yesterday? 7 seedlings up to an inch tall, with more to come, from the one sided germination pattern. If only other seeds were that quick with results. But then most others of mine take their chances outside or in the frost free greenhouse, whereas this was given vip treatment in the kitchen. Unfortunately flowering sized bulbs will take a little longer. Snowdrop meeting today, with spiced wine and muffins, in a friend's garden, where I meet a temporary UK resident from New Jersey admiring the 23 (different?) varieties, and who knows at least 1 other person from this group. Small world! Brian Whyer, Buckinghamshire, England, zone ~8
