Capaea nemoralis, or something similar. Famous for having many,
substrate-related, colour morphs.
Thanks Stuart. I Googled for that name. People actually keep them as pets!

I have always known them as "Banded snails" and unlike the big brown jobs
they seem to live above ground in the foliage of plants and are a right
pain with clematis!

Oh, please go out and look ;- ) Joking of course. Nemoralis, in my
experience has fewer bands on the shell and your photo fits exactly
hortentis for me. Other views may vary and I never mind being proved
wrong. I am always up for learning from those who know better, but
for me, it's hortentis.

I'm curious.........how do you and others know so much about snails? I mean,
this is a gardening group.......snails are a PITA. My original post was made
in the hope that someone may just know, but I never expected this amount of
knowledge.

Know thy enemy :~)

Not uncommon to have apparently conflicting interests. I knew a
professional entomologist whose spare time pursuit was growing
insectivorous plants.

Do you still have them?

I've just got the butterworts now. Nice plants - seem to be in flower

Is your greenhouse/hot house still packed out with cacti?

Not packed out. About half full. The other half has courgettes, peppers,
beans (for the snail free environment) and masses of seelings being
grown on ready for planting out.

That's a shame, do you still see Cormaic? I have spoken to him in
years, I hope he is well, I looked on his webpages and I see he has a
pic of me there!!! Lovely memories of my time in Leeds with you.

Hi folks.

Don't know whether you remember me, but I was one of the 'lurkers'
when Jane Ransom & Cormaic in the north used to regularly post a few
years ago. Only wished I 'd met up with you all at that time on your
days out.

I thought about you all only yesterday, when I went to an NGS open day
at Hesketh Bank near Southport (Hawthorne's Clematis nursery.)

Would've liked to have met up with other keen plantspeople. Had a
great time anyway, and got some good advice from the owner on what to
buy. (Needless to say I bought a lot !)

Getting back to the snail - I too have some on pebbledashed walls -
thought they didn't like uneven surfaces ??

Kind regards.

Richard if you lurked, then we don't know you!! I was here in the
time of Cormaic and Jane and do I miss them!!!! I am so glad you have
posted. If you want to know about clematis, then Charlie is your
man. Welcome and keep on posting.

earth can one sleep tonight?)

Thanks for your comments, Judith.

I did post occasionally back then, but I really used to read & enjoy
all the gardening 'gossip' that went on - it was like getting a top
gardening magazine delivered daily online - couldn't wait to read.

I remember Cormaic as an intelligent plantsman with our dry northern
humour, and Judith lived through the Trough near Lancaster (I'm in
Clitheroe.)

You've got me thinking about what I could post, so started a new
thread (that's probably been commented on many times before.....) re
Carol Klein.

Best wishes, and don't hog all that beautiful sun to yourself, send
some up here !!

MTAAAW. Just fed a dozen or so to the thrushes this afternoon while
pruning back the C. horizontalis which grows through 90º (into C.
verticalis?) up the front elevation of me cottij.

Right pain in the cotoneaster innit.

Well, I remember seening 'Roo' before, but not often. I've been swanning
about in this group since around six months to a year after Zetnet
began. About twelve years? Ish?
