Hii guys,

if you want to see plant collecting gone mad just check out the prices of some of the rare snowdrops for sale in the UK and Europe on ebay.
One recently went for over £300 and a new 'yellow' clone - 'Elizabeth Harrison' is standing at £369 for a single bulb with some time still left for the auction.
We haven't quite reached the price levels of the 17th century tulips but for small white flowers with varying degrees of green or yellow smudges on the petals, this is quite something,

Regards,

David
