I've tried to make a better photo, but due to dull weather thisis the best I could get:- Leaves of Galanthus koenenianus- Galanthus krasnoviiThomas - that is much clearer - as you know, I could not work out what the snowdrop in the foreground of your original picture was doing with the leaves of g. krasnovii, when you had said that krasnovii was growing in the background!The leaves for both your g. koenenianus & your g. krasnovii look absolutely right.Mark - if I were you, I would get your krasnovii out of its pot straightaway - when I think of krasnovii, I think of the pictures in both the 'Snowdrops' book & 'Genus Galanthus' which show krasnovii flowering in the snow melt, on the edge of a snow field - you need it to be in the ground, where it can be really wet at this time of the year - I grow it in 3 different places in the garden, both light shade & more open (like Thomas, my soil is sandy) & it seems equally happy in its several locations.
Some species, like g. krasnovii, are a bit more challenging! In his book, 'The genus Galanthus', Aaron Davis pictures g. krasnovii in full flower on the edge of melting snow! Here in the south of England we do not see much of this particular white stuff, so I have planted out bulbs in several different parts of the garden, looking for a position that is cool & wet/retains the wet during the flowering period, but is dry in the summer, and will be carefully monitoring results.
