Margery Fish

Found in 1987 at East Lambrook Manor, and at the time one of the most distinct snowdrops. Exceptionally long pedicel and spathe. Large green markings on outer and inner segments. A form of G. nivalis with narrow petals, a massively elongated spathe and a very long pedicel this plant has what might be regarded as a pretty gawky appearance but it is also almost half green both on the inner and outer petals so merits more interest. It also hails from just around the corner at the East Lambrook Manor Garden where it reminds us that Mrs Fish was an early force in the renewal of Cottage Gardening. Early.
