Very mild weather here and several are showing in the garden. G. elw.'Barnes' is in flower as is G. elw Hiemalis, 'Peter Gatehouse' is up but has always been a misery-guts with me. 'Three Ships' is well up , showing white and 'Castlegar' has done its annual trick of suddenly appearing well above ground where there was no sign of it the day before.

My Peter Gatehouse is now 5! One bulb is a tight group of three so I'm assuming a Narcissus fly may have partially eaten a bulb

Not necessarily, Mark.  The offsets tend to stay close to the parent bulb.

I have posted pictures of this snowdrop in the past and the file name reflects what forumists have suggested as a possible name(s).   It is in flower now in Victoria, BC.   Looking at Paddy's shot of 'Barnes' with  iosceles-sided marks I wonder if this rules out Barnes for Carol's plant as her flowers have inverted U marks .  A friend of hers has declared it a hybrid without even having seen the plant, mainly because of the single mark!

Hard to say if all the shoots in the picture are the same plants.
