Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rare double Snowdrop we salvaged a few years ago from the garden of Marian Raitz who was an incorrigible plant collector of the best possible sort and upon having to move from her acres of botanical treasures, she did the right thing and called in the good plant societies and gardeners to skim the cream to save the choice plants from being destroyed. This is an interesting little aberration introduced by Alan Street from a plant found in Blewbury, Oxfordshire. This has small outward facing flowers with congested inner green segments looking like little green tartlets according to one English authority anyway. This is one for the Galanthophile and one that is always a challenge to find. We potted what we could spare and our best judgement in grading these out says these single bulbs should flower.
