I wish I could get them to establish here. I have tried on several
occasions. I know it's best to buy them in the green, but I don't want the
100 or so you have to buy. I've only got a small suburban patch so a dozen
or so would be loads.

Let me have you address by email and I'll send you some when we have them
here. Consider tham a prezzie and give away those you don't want. We have
a friend who brings them in every year in their thousands from an estate he
manages. I don't know what others charge but just wrap up a good big bunch
in newspaper and charge £1.50 for them normally. And I'm not advertising
because we don't do mail-order!
I hope this isn't a morbid thought but if you have a grave you tend,
snowdrops planted on them is a lovely thing to do.
