Galanthus in April 2013

[Natalia]

At last the spring came and to us ...

Galanthus nivalis justifies its name.

Galanthus Worinowii - tiny plants.

[johnw]

Natalia  - Is woronowii winter hardy with you?

johnw

[Natalia]

John, Galanthus worinowii, Galanthus krasnovii and Galanthus panjutinii very hardy  - they well winter under our snow.
I already showed photos of plants of these species which grow in my garden.

I watch chimeras found in this year. More than 10 different copies.
Certainly, in this look they non are stable. But...
From those chimeras which partially turn green eventually it is possible to receive the viable aurata forms.

[Ru]

From these plants it is possible to receive light-green forms

[Ru]

Aurata form. But it not rather green, over time. I don't think that we will see its flowers soon

[Leena]

Snow has started to melt in Finland.
My oldest snowdrops are G.nivalis and G.nivalis 'Flore Pleno', and they do well here, G.nivalis has increased well and I have several clumps of it, and it also seeds around.

[Leena]

'Dionysus' is flowering for the first time for me now. It is quite short, about the height of 'Flore Pleno'. Is this the right height for it, or is this only because it is young? or do I have the right plant?
'Dionysus'
'Merlin'
'Viridapice'
Galanthus lagodechianus

Here's a picture of Dionysius http://www.dryad-home.co.uk/pages/gallery/Galanthus/index.html#Galanthus%20Dionysus.jpg

Here's one of Lady Beatrix Stanley http://www.dryad-home.co.uk/pages/gallery/Galanthus/index.html#Galanthus%20Lady%20Beatrix%20Stanley.jpg

The flower looks more like the latter than the former to me.  Lady Beatrix Stanley is part elwesii so the leaves are somewhat supervolute although much narrower than a typical elwesii.  Your plant looks to have supervolute leaves although less glaucous than I would expect.

[Leena]

Thank you Alan, it really doesn't look like 'Dionysus', but more like 'Lady Beatrix Stanley'.   
The light might change the color of the leaves.
I had bought it from Potterton's in spring 2011 and this is the first time it flowers, and it seems to have increased from one bulb. The same time I bought  also 'Hippolyta' and 'Desdemona', and the latter didn't come up the next spring and 'Hippolyta' is now a really small leaf. I planted them all in the same place, and at least G.plicatus seems to like it there.

And a few snowdrops in my garden.

These forms are found by me? Or it is your finds?

Ru, these are my selections from the 2011 trip.
