New Snowdrop?

[Rsdewaard]

I found this snowdrop outside it has four outer leaves.
I know they have normaly three but i just want to know if it is special.

it's from a Galanthus Nivals that is for sure. because that's the only wild one in my region.

It's a '4x4' with four inner and four outer petals.  As a one-off for this year it is an uncommon find.  If it does the same thing next year and every year thereafter then that would make it more rare.  But such snowdrops are already known and not rated that highly by most galanthophiles.  There is one called 'Godfrey Owen' that consistently produces 6 outer petals and snowdrop connoisseurs would be more impressed by something else like that.  Or better - perhaps 8 outer petals is the next target find?

 Hello RS - and welcome - it's fun to find something different, isn't it?  Enjoy your "4x4"  snowdrop

I am new here. As a member I am following others for a few years now. Time to show some snowdrops myself. As an introduction I just want to show some snowdrops for comment I found this year. Names are just working titles.

Some snowdrops I found earlier last years. These have proven to be stable in different gardens. Almost all my drops are dutch finds. Noalene is from Belgium. Baby Bell North France
