Green tipped woronowii

[Olga Bondareva]

stable in the garden each spring, I would name it G. woronowii "Bella Ramondovna".

Oh really?  Hope it increases well.

Remarkably, means and the hose-in-hose option can quite repeat: )

And time will show that will turn out in reality...

Yes!  There were some other clones. Mine turned to ordinary flowers.  As well as some grin-tipped.
Are you going to sow seeds?

sorry, nicht((( it doesn't produce any seed(((( should be unbalanced polysomic sterile mutant or even doesn't make viable gametes (((( only a vegetative propagation!

Could it be a sign of decease?
As I remember bulbs in that clump had different flowers. Some more strange and some less.

yes, Olga, it could be (even it seems rather!!) a result (such exotic greenish appearance and plant infertility) of some Phytoplasma ssp. activity like in this my Chugaister nivalis plant... but any case for both plants I should prove the presence of microorganism in tissues by PCR-method, e.g....
the same syndrome-pattern we could easily observe with certainty in genus Trillium, but in this case the Phytoplasma infection for such green-flowered trilliums is proved at analytic level.
see here  http://www.carsoncity.k12.mi.us/~hsstudent/wildflowers00/liliaceae/phytoplasma.html

so, I suppose ALL! green/greenish-flowered snowdrops (incl. legendary 500 euro-Green Mile, Green Tears, Rosemary Burnham, etc.) could be generated through the banal phytoplasma infection.... imho

'Chugaister' is looking as wonderful as ever Dimitri.

Oh, thanks, John! I put both 2 bulbs of it in a far corner of my garden for fear to transfer the potential pathogen to other plants...

It would be a pleasure for me to see that happen to a yellow.

... to a highly virused yellow, John 

[KentGardener]

But virused in a good 'spikey flower' way - rather than a horrible 'stripey leaved' way.

mmmm I think in this one case it would be rather both "stripey flower-spikey leafed" way
