Galanthus anomalies- "wrong" flowers

[KentGardener]

The first few weird one off flowers that I have spotted so far this year.

1 & 2 - A fused 5 petal 'Wendys Gold'
 
3 7 4 - A four petal unamed 'green tip'

A few fresh photos non-standard Galanthus plicatus from the nature.

Galanthus plicatus - Explicit green stripe on the two lobes and is not very clear on the third.

We seem to be edging closer and closer to the snowdrop analogue of a hose-in-hose primula (see e.g. http://www.paradise-garden.co.uk/flowers/hose.html).  The extra petals on the plicatus in the first picture are the fullest I can remember seeing.

Hi Natalia

Once again, thank you for posting the pictures - I am always VERY interested in the odd things that Galanthus can get up to.   



A similar thread from the past may interest you too   http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5075.0  (Maggi - shall we amalgamate the two?    )

That's a shame Tony - but so weird that both separate bulbs only had 2 petals each.

Probably feeding it half strength.

Two thirds strength?

Why not indeed? I have done that, John.
Good idea to keep all these strange creatures together

Аnd some more photos of abnormalities in Galanthus found in nature ...
 the fruit is already quite large, but the flower is preserved
 have already shown this year an anomaly - an accrete stalk and sheet.
