Yellow tipped Leucojum

This plant was in the garden of a Cambridge College that I visited yesterday
Isn't it lovely?

Yes, if it had been for sale Mark, I wouldn't have just bought one for you lol! I'll be looking out for this for sure :)

Its soooo cute!

Leucojum vernum var carpathian.

I have only seen it in other peoples gardens and they never want to part with it. Anyone grow it?

Absolutely gorgeous plant.

This would be an ideal accent in a design I am developing.

If someone has some or is buying, I would be glad to either trade (though my inventory is small and banal), or go in on a purchase.

LOL thanks Baa - you beat me to it!!

What a lovely plate Adam, thanks for showing it
We have the problems of your import laws to contend with I suppose. Would it be easier for you to buy direct if one of the suppliers sends to the US? Or perhaps there is a supplier in the states?

I've looked around on some US web sites and have not seen it listed. However, it's not the purchasing season for these, as I imagine they are Autumn planted.

I've never tried shipping plants or bulbs to or from the UK, but have sent both back and forth to and from Germany without any problem.

I recently got some Galanthus from my mother~in~law in Germany, which was clearly labled "plants, bulbs."

I'd be willing to join in a co-op for some

And me :)

I only have the kind with the green dots. The yellow ones are adorable, too. Mine are a-blooming like crazy.

i just planted some with the green dots last fall. they are still under some snow now. but i am sure looking forward to them.
let me know if you find out where to buy them. i'd be interested too.
thanks debi z
