North Green Snowdrops

Miss Nancy Lindsay's collected form: we are most grateful to
Chris Brickell for this historical plant with a very special provenance.
With her remarkable eye for a perfect plant this snowdrop was
collected by Miss Nancy Lindsay in Turkey many years ago and
given by her, to Chris Brickell and affectionately referred to here, at
North Green, as 'Miss Lindsay's Gift'. This is a most wonderful
snowdrop: extremely vigorous, tall and very upright with all the
magic of an original species. There is a very good photograph of a
similar plant growing in Primrose Warburg's garden in Snowdrops,
(2001) p35 plate 21. (Prmrose Warburg was Miss Nancy Lindsay's
plant executor). Limited stock. See illustration p.26.

snowdrop originated from the mother-in-law of Dylan Thomas: Mrs
Macnamara (please note correct spelling). A tall, stately plant
flowering in December when there are few other large snowdrops in
bloom. This is the favourite of all our early-flowering cultivars at
North Green. Outstanding. See illustration p.26. (Snowdrops, (2001)
p.177) £12.50
'Remember, Remember' (syn. 'November Merlin'): our beautiful
November-flowering snowdrop probably derived from one of the
Hiemalis Group with a deeply green shaded inner segment reminding
us of G. 'Merlin'. Often in flower by the 5 th November. This snowdrop
can be somewhat top heavy, therefore best suited to a sheltered
position in full sun. See illustration p.26. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.192)

'Rev. Hailstone': a large and robust early-flowering hybrid with
exceptionally long flowers. The outer segments are particularly
