Galanthus in March 2019

Thanks Anne. Early ones come always up and start to flower inside the snow, and when the snow melts they just continue flowering.
Later ones usually wait patiently under ground until it really is spring also here.

I'm not snowdrop grower and great lover of them, but few I have and today made 3 picture
2 are G. graecus from Chios Island
and the third is GF. panjutini from Abchasia (locality almost completely destroyed due Sochi olympic games. No one was replaced!

Janis,

Those G. graecus are terrific. A favorite form ....thank you for posting.

We are just now finally seeing drops in S.E. Massachusetts, U.S and it was fun to see this pair of G. elwesii 'Pat Mason emerge from the melt and in full bloom!

Both this form of G. graecus and G. panjutini are very special and lovely, I hope they become more widely available soon!

It is good that you are growing it and so at least some are saved!

It is the same here, many snowdrops are in full bloom when the snow melts. 'Pat Mason' looks like a nice short and sturdy snowdrop.

'Lerinda' now when the snow has melted around it.
Every day new snowdrops come up through snow (or actually the snow melts from around them, they were already ready to flower inside the snow).
'Green Light' reached the top of the snow on last Friday and already yesterday a lot of the snow has melted from around it.

More snowdrops are coming through snow every day.
In my earliest bed in full sunshine yesterday 'Tuuliku 2' opened it's flowers. it is Taavi Tuulik's find in Hiiumaa in Estonia, and was sold with this name by Sulev Savisaar, and I got it from a friend who had bought it from Sulev. This is an early G.elwesii variety, and a good increaser here.
'Lady Elphinstone' also does well.
