Galanthus that are truly easy to recognise!

[mark smyth]

that looks good Brian

[Brian Ellis]

Cheers Mark, it will take a while but I must get some leaf clearing done in the garden as there are so many noses poking through and slugs are still hungry

[ashley]

Brian, carry on like that and you'll convince us there really IS a difference

[Tim Ingram]

I am a bit overwhelmed by the list but the pictures are excellent - probably good to have them in small doses so (relative) newcomers like me can digest them slowly! Even those first three groups of pictures have shown me four or five to look for!

[Tim Ingram]

I find 'Hippolyta' to be one of the best doubles in our garden - tidier than most. 'Barbara's Double' seems more petite but we haven't grown it for long enough to properly compare.

[Brian Ellis]

Thanks Tim, the size and flowering time are the main differences I'll add one of your pictures when I get to Hippolyta
Ashley I feel the zeal to convert people after an AGS meeting last night   Here's another offering.

Castlegar, Chandler's Greentip, Charlotte Jean and Cliff Curtis.

First snag - has someone a picture of David Bromley please?

Corkscrew (the foliage being the defining characteristic! Daglingworth, David Bromley (??) Diggory

Great work, Brian.  You have a treasure trove of snowdrop pictures.

[Brian Ellis]

Great work, Brian.  You have a treasure trove of snowdrop pictures.

Not at all Alan, they are pictures by forumists on other threads collected together in one place.  I expect photographs from most of the galanthophiles will make an appearance - unless they object.  I wish I had so many myself

[Brian Ellis]

Brian, 
        They look superb.Keep up the good work.

Ding Dong, Dodo Norton, EA Bowles and Ecusson d'Or

Ecusson d'Or looks like Dodo Norton.

[MR GRUMPY]

Steve, I think you should imagine you are presented with a decent clump of snowdrops (even in such instances where such a thing does not yet exist) so in cases where a snowdrop does not 'perform' every year (such as Moses Basket) I presume at least some will and therefore a clump of them could be easily identified where an individual snowdrop might not be.   

Alan,Fair point, i wish i had a clump to compare.......but just because you haven't seen it,doesn't mean it does not yet exist.....
