 subject of thread is  is Martha MacLaren & nivalis ssp. imperati  includes "Trym" like photo etc and some talk of twinscaled marking changes

http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4014.msg130789#msg130789  mention here of differences from seed.

Not sure that either of these is what I remember as the discussion on twinscaling and the possible effect on markings though... :-\


 ... might it have been in this thread? http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=2042.0

I think it's very funny that I contributed to most of these discussions, and couldn't remember any of it. What day is it anyway?
They are well worth reading again.

And I've made a note on my calendar to try grafting Trym to a yellow next May.

This is interesting, I think. The first photo shows a pot of Galanthus reginae-olgae Annmarie Kee, which should have green tips. The best they've done for me is a trace of green on one or two flowers, although one bulb has produced a flower with green-tinged pinched ends to the outers this year. The really remarkable thing is in the second picture. These are bulbs from chips taken LAST JUNE! Three flowers from 14 chips in just over a year is exceptional (even if they don't have green tips!). That's fast even for a narcissus, let alone a snowdrop.
