Galanthus identification needed

[Martin Baxendale]

Mark's close-ups of ikariae flowers show the typical outer segment shape and proportions very well. Always much, much longer than the inner segments, and pointed, not rounded. I can't be sure without checking the books, but I think the proportions are something like woronowii has outers about twice the length of the inners, while ikariae has outers three times the length of the inners (roughly, but gives an idea of the relative proportions).

Thanks Martin & Mark.  Looks like I have alot of wornowiis. It will be interesting to see if the "smaller" form is significantly different than the others.

Now if I can track down Latifolius #1 to photograph. A firend in Germany was baffled by it.  His notes on it are at work. If I get a chance I will post them with shots.

I picked this up at the garden centre as Galanthus nivalis last year. I know it is not that but would welcome an identification of it.

It looks like a well marked woronowii.

My green-tipped woronowii that I got in a garden centre are up for the second time in my garden without green tips

Mark thank you,that is what I thought. My other woronowii are not through the grit yet and so I thought I would get another opinion.

I saw a lot of woronowii in garden centres last year labelled as nivalis. I suspect they just buy them in as 'snowdrops' and nivalis is the label they always use. It is a nice healthy example though, and may have a slightly different marking to the ones you already have.
