Galanthus in February 2013

[annew]

Here's a few more. Tryposter x two are both white though! Does this happen or is it not what I think?

Welcome Jan - were your Trymposters from different sources? Unfortunately bulbs like Trym, Trymlet etc can lose their markings when chipped - best to buy in flower or from a source that check flowers are true before sale.

I was delighted to see Selborne Greentips with a twin flower - I didn't know it did this before the mention of it on the forum last month.

Hi, have finally joined, after much elbowing from Mark Smyth! Thought I'd try to load some pics of some of what's flowering in Plymouth. Fingers crossed I do this ok!

Your Plymouth garden's obviously looking good, Jan! Welcome!

I have been trying to post photos of this flower for Uli and others for the last two months but the forum is not cooperating. 

Carolyn I have found that timing is one of the key things, when lots of people are accessing the forum or lots are using your isp link it can be slow, so I always have my photos ready to post and type the words in the 'Post reply' box then copy them, close the box and start again, pasting the words instantly so the only thing taking time is adding the pictures.  It seems to help, and if all else fails, I do it an hour or so later.  Hope that helps and might work for you

A mature clump can look fantastic, very floriferous

Hello JanB,
my warm welcome to you.
In German we would say "a hot start" with a gallery of fine pics.

Somewhere I read that it usually had them and was disappointed that mine had not.  Happily this year one plant had twin bells.  An excellent snowdrop and not so expensive.

I have stared and stared at the picture (the third one labelled " SRGC-g.-trymposter.jpg") but I cannot see any white ones.  Can you clarify your question, for my benefit, Jan.

Wie sagt man "a hot start"?

Ja JohnW, ein heißer Start.

  This is the X-marked G. elwesii that I was given by a customer in spring 2012.  Investigation revealed that it was selected from straight species G. elwesii growing at the US Botanic Garden in Washington, DC.   

Carolyn - A lovely looking drop, and obviously very hardy!

February the 4th and already 5 pages!
Bit of sunshine today so i was able to take some pics.
The snowdrop with a face i found 2 years ago is still showing the same face! I will take a better pic later this week because there was sun but lots of wind!

Yes, but we did jump the gun!

I too have looked at the Trymposter and cannot see any whites.

my two new ones before going to their new homes, sunny day but cold wind kept everything else closed.
