£360 for a snowdrop?
Back in the '70s, I was shown a pot of Galanthus 'E.A. Bowles' by a
nurseryman friend who was something of a galanthophile. He rated it
as the most treasured of his collection and had a small stock. I was
offered a bulb, but declined because as pretty as they are, I simply
cannot get at all enthusiastic about any of the snowdrops. I see that
in the link, a single bulb of this variety sold for £357.00 last
year.
