I agree - very exciting results. Some with green inner markings and yellow ovaries, others with very long yellow ovaries, and most of all very interesting variation. Would be worth writing up for The Plantsman.

Just had another look at my photo of Wendy's Gold with 4 petals John & you're right there are 5 'inners', I hadn't noticed.  8)

Here's an assortment of the seedlings from Wendy's Gold x Lutescens, with Wendy in there to compare.

I don't know how I missed this post Anne, well done.  I am sure you will spur us all on with those results. 8)

Some nice rich yellows there, Anne. Those flowers are bleeding tears coz you picked them. Do you have any other photos that show the outside of the inners better?

High winds and driving rain again two days in a row. Lots of snowdrops ruined.

elwesii White Perfection looking OK but the flower is small. Dont know if this is normal?

Hello Anne,

You must have a lucky hand! Fine yellow seedlings.
It seem, that 3 and D have yellow ovarys and yellowish green marks.
Do you want to create a revers BLONDE INGE group???
The time of bicolored Galanthus is coming!!!
How old are the seedlings?
