Wendy's Gold

Found by Ester Sharman, Joe Sharman's mother, and Bill Clarke from Wandlebury Ring, Cambridgeshire, in 1985. Named after Bill Clarke's wife. Most of the original stock of this ‘benchmark’ golden snowdrop was lost, but a couple of bulbs kept back and given to nurserymen ensured, through twin scaling, that this wonderful snowdrop survived. The flowers appear more yellow in full sun rather than in too much shade. Unique as the inners are two thirds yellow. Early.
