Bob Nold reports that "'Theresa Stone' is indeed a selection of G. elwesii. I got mine from Louise, too, in 2000. In my garden it has not been slow to increase, by any means..." Bless Louise for her generosity. If anyone is in contact with her, please express our appreciation for frequent and wide-flung donations of this snowdrop. Possibly Bob's good increases in the garden are because Theresa Stone is surrounded by other Galanthus with plenty of pollen to share??? However, his brief comment below his signature is one I find to have frightening implications...17 mm of moisture since August 1? Bob is in the Denver, CO area. This really doesn't sound good. And here I sit with a plethora of moisture, so much so that every step I take goes "squish, squish". And more of the same this morning, crunchy snow/hail/whatever with more to come tomorrow. It does leave a nice layer on the plants in the can yard for protection, although the lowest temp is 27 F. But still, time to send this stuff east!
