Can anyone help with a snowdrop ID?
« on: February 20, 2012, 06:37:19 PM »
This little snowdrop came up next to one of my Grumpys (I'm not really obsessed with Grumpy!) this year.  Does anyone know what it might be please?
It's the one on the right and is just like Grumpy but it has a rounder ovary and is is just a little bit smaller altogether than Grumpy.



These are the markings...



Thank you!

Thank you Mark.
If it's not Grumpy do you know what the left hand snowdrop might be?

The snowdrop is whatever you planted there.  If you only planted 'Grumpy' then it is either seedling without a name or something the animals in your garden have moved from somewhere else.
