Jim, it's good to read I'm one of your favourite snowdrop sites. I'll be adding a new page or two to mine to add all the new snowdrops I have photographed this year and some I left out from last year. Some day when I have the time and the urge I'll re-do all the photo albums so they are in alphabetical order from start to finish. I was part of a 4 garden open day this and last year. All gardens are open for their snowdrops and Hellebores. We had 220 attending this year from N Ireland, S Ireland and England. For £7/c$10 you get entry to all gardens and lunch. Plants are sold too. I must post a photo of my small but well packed garden. Have you got a photo of your yellow marked plant? The advise John Grimshaw will give is separate the bulb/s and keep an eye on them for a year or two to see what happens. Just in case some people haven't found me on the 'net I'll plug my sites http://www.marksgardenplants.com/ some galleries to be added http://www.snowdropinfo.com/ still a wee bit missing here and there http://www.batdetective.com/ for those interested in those cute creatures of the night I'll let John Grimshaw answer your questions fully because he's been at it longer than me. Mark N Ireland where we have had a week of at least 15c/60F - double the average for March
