Galanthus woronowii 'Elizabeth Harrison' |
It must be said, however, that 'Elizabeth Harrison' is unique, being the first and only known yellow form of G. woronowii and therefore of considerable galanthophilic interest. I hope, however, that the purchaser understands that G. woronowii does not respond well to chipping, so that natural division provides the only safe method of increasing the stock.
they have just got to keep it alive now !!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a price! It must be said that it is a wonderfully beautiful snowdrop and this price is for a good cause. I'm delighted for Ian and the Harrison family.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how they thought I was from Scotland though.
Gosh I have just dug up two 'ordinary' g. woronowii to give to a friend who knows little of snowdrops, (as me) but was charmed by the deep green leaves: will have to tell him to keep an eye on them in case one turns yellow!
ReplyDeleteMy family is planning to visit next Sunday, just down the road but only discovered through article in Telegraph magazine.
ReplyDeleteJohn, if woronowii doesn't respond well to chipping, are we to expect a better response from tissue culture?
