Ian, this one obtained from Chris Sancham, it blooms every year something near this time - mid-November till March. And this one is a very huge clone. Last summer Hans Achilles shared with me his G. cilicicus which even didn't appear till now at soil level....


Brian - yes, they are in a frame but from frosty period, not yet. We have usually snowy winter up to -20C sometimes. But last week-end was exceptionally sunny with +15C  ;D

If I remember correctly, there was some controversy a few years ago as to whether 'Autumn Beauty' was a single clone (producing flowers that all had the same markings) or something more akin to a group of similar but non-identical snowdrops.  Now that some time has passed, are we any the wiser?

I have been watching this G. elwesii in my garden for a few years.  It blooms in very early November before the leaves emerge fully and so far reliably produces these bright green tips on the outers.  Also the ovary is an unusual shape and very dark green.  The flowers are plump and round and evenly shaped.
