{"product_id":"galanthus-mrs-thompson","title":"Galanthus 'Mrs. Thompson'","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGalanthus\u003c\/em\u003e 'Mrs. Thompson' - This is a very interesting plant.  I never used to give this plant much love to be completely honest, and have actually told people in the past that I thought it was ugly!  However, I actually gave it a lot more attention last season and have come to very much admire its unusual characteristics.  It is a large plant that looks fantastic in a clump. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e'Mrs. Thompson' is a rebel and will do what she pleases year on year! Every year the flowers can show different characteristics.  She may have 3 outers or inners - four, five or even six!  She may have two, or even three, flowers fused together on the same scape or multiple other anomalies.  She might have mangled and deformed outers or inners, different numbers of outers or inners or, she may actually, sometimes, just look like a 'normal' snowdrop, with three inners and three outers!  All of these things can happen within the same clump in the same year; a very interesting plant indeed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNot all snowdrops are perfect in every way, and I think 'Mrs. Thompson' is one that can certainly be loved for its 'stable' instability, if that makes sense!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eYou might not believe it but all of the photographs attached to this listing are of the same plant.  I will continue to add photos to this listing as the years go by to add the different variations of her flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTo give some history, 'Mrs. Thompson' is a very old cultivar; found by Mrs. N.G. Thompson of Red House, Escrick, near York, and named for herself.  She sent it to the RHS committee, chaired by E.A. Bowles, for consideration in 1950.  It is a clone that has certainly stood the test of time as a garden plant.  Love it or hate it, it's a good doer, and will perform very well in the garden and increase quickly due to its excellent vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRJ SNOWDROPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55491815309638,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/0701\/0118\/files\/MrsThompson-CR1_8322.jpg?v=1763748206","url":"https:\/\/www.wrjsnowdrops.co.uk\/products\/galanthus-mrs-thompson","provider":"WRJ SNOWDROPS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
