North Green Snowdrops

'Dodo Norton' (×valentinei): a diminutive hybrid which measures no
more than 8.5cm high; a very dwarf G. 'Mighty Atom' derivative with
shouldered outer segments. Discovered in the famous ditch at East
Lambrook Manor (the home and garden of the late Margery Fish in
the 1950s) and named after the wife of a previous owner.

'Early to Rize': discovered in the garden here at North Green. From
the characteristics of its leaves, this snowdrop is possibly a hybrid of
G. elwesii Hiemalis Group and G. rizehensis. This fine snowdrop is
conspicuous for its early-flowering which consistently starts well
before Christmas and continues into the New Year. See illustration
p.35. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.244) £30.00
'Fieldgate Fugue': found growing amongst a clump of G. 'John
Gray', by Colin Mason, in his Warwickshire garden. This snowdrop
reminds us somewhat of G. 'John Gray' but has a proportionately
larger ovary, a chubbier flower and is generally of more substance. A
beautiful snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.159) £22.50
'Fieldgate Superb' (syn. 'Fieldgate B'): first offered for sale in our
1996 catalogue. A most lovely G.plicatus hybrid from Colin Mason
with a large well proportioned flower of good weight and substance.
Late flowering and usually with double scapes. See illustration p 36.
