...And the sinus is double split  with a extra notch.  So far as i can remember, have i never seen this before

Is this the first year you have observed this, Gerard, or do you mean that this snowdrop does this every year but you have never observed the same phenomenon elsewhere.  I have certainly never seen a snowdrop do this.

I found this one in 2011 and it got my eye because it gives 2 scapes per plant and its a elwesii!!! I did make a photo of the most promising ones last monday and when i had a good look at the photo i saw it more clearly. The plant gives 2 scapes now and on the other scape there are 2 flowers together on each other.

Willkommen Uwe!
Nice planting of snowdrops. Don't worry about your English; it is much better than my German and here we are all far more interested in plants than correct English...

A long season here too. This one is usually at its best at the end of March - Fieldgate Superb - one of my favourites. The flowers have outers over 4cm long
