Green tipped woronowii

[Anthonyh]

Agreed. They are all very nice... I especially like Natalia's 'virescent' one. I don't know about everyone else, but pictures like these make me dream of being a plant hunter... Thanks for sharing them.

Olga and Natalia, superb G.woronowii, thanks for showing here what we would otherwise never get to see.

[Brian Ellis]

The nature of Russia is full of incredible treasures!

...and we are very grateful for you sharing them with us, especially the virescent one

[ChrisD]

Yes many thanks Olga and Natalia, those are lovely. I was of the opinion that woronowii showed very little variation. Obviously wrong again

Chris G. woronowii shows as much variation as others. They just should to be found. I found many different green marked, poculiform and some strange forms. The law of homologous series works.

Olga and Natalia--- I guess it would be redundant to say WOW again so I will say amazing!!!

Grumpy--- You haven't posted your photo yet so I thought I would tell you how I resize.  I use the free Google software Picasa to organize my photos.  I highly recommend Picasa because it is easy to use and has so many great features.  I recently sold camellia photos to the New York Times taken with a point and shoot camera and using Picasa to enhance them (please don't tell the Times).  In Picasa, you would click on/select the photos you want to use for the post, click export, chose the size you want to use for export (for the forum I guess I now need to go down from 800 pixels to 600), and then export them.  The photos will go to a new folder in Picasa and also in My Pictures (or whatever its called on your computer) on your hard drive.  Then when you are doing your post on the forum, you just browse to that folder in My Pictures and download the altered/resized photos.  It sounds very complicated but it is really easy.  If you want to pursue this I would be happy to answer any further questions.  Carolyn

Whoops I should have read this before my PM Carolyn

Yes, friends - you are absolutely right - G.woronowii has a set of very interesting variations and with green spots, and others - last year I found here such freak.

I am sorry - quality very unimportant, but an idea of it gives. This G.woronowii has two rows of petals - one under ovary, the second over it. Both rows of petals are developed normally - can how be judged at the time of detection.

завязью = ovary

Wow, absolutely amazing! I never saw a snowdrop like that, Natalia.

Natalia and Olga you have lovely green tipped and virescent woronowii

It seems like the snowdrop equivalent of a hose-in-hose primula.

It happens sometimes. There is one place with lots of such kind plants. This clump shows it's not a stable characteristic. Plants become usual next year.



But sometimes they can be so attractive .

Small correction - such pieces are quite widespread - I found them in three places. It is amusing that in the same populations the galanthus often meets green spots on petals

ohhhhhh!! me too - must pour oil on monstrous woronowii flames  A clone found by our small travel galanthus enthusiast group somewhere in heights of the Western Transcaucasia... stable in the garden each spring, I would name it G. woronowii "Bella Ramondovna".
