Galanthus that are truly easy to recognise!

Is this the sort of thing you would like Carolyn

Now I must go and do some leaf clearing.

Brian, I am absolutely thrilled with your photos.  So many snowdrops, so little time....I mean money.  I always consoled myself here in the galanthus deprived US that there really weren't that many distinct snowdrops so eventually I would have enough.  Alas, you have shattered that illusion.

I do want to digest the photos and see if I can tell them all apart.  Already I think some of the virescent cultivars look very similar.  And for the classic single whites, it would help to have the most important characteristic pointed out, i.e., is it strictly the mark, the flower shape, the angle of the petals, or some combination?  Not that I expect you to supply that or you will never do any leaf clearing.  Your efforts are very much appreciated as they are.

You are very welcome Carolyn but you must also thank all those who have allowed their photographs from the forum and elsewhere to be used, Maggi for forwarding a massive selection of photographs and Alan Briggs for the suggestion, as well as the forumists who offered their suggestions - a real collaborative effort. 

Besides a few of my photos the following are to be thanked:

Alan Briggs
Cathy Portier
David King
Diane Clement
Fermi de Sousa
Hagen Engelmann
Hans Joschko
Ian Christie
Ian McEnery

Great work Brian, thanks a lot !! Maybe another one that can be added to the list is Niv. Chadwick's Cream  and Plicatus
Graham Shipham.

Now added to the list Richard although we should point out that these are extremely hard to come by at the present time

I know Brian.....I am a hopeless case.  Have opened up a few areas in the woodlands though....so can't stop now

 There are quite alot that we should add...
Emerald Isle
Chandler's Green Tip

We are still short of a picture of Green Flash, it would be nice to round this off if we could.  Can anyone oblige please?

[Brian Ellis]
