Hello Hans, your plants must be a little more in the west or in the south.
Here my rizehensis are only showing the buds (also in greenhouse) ;).
But the Gems are ringing.

Most interesting Hagen, I wonder if the cream colour will contrast with the white when it is open?

Hello Hagen ,

this is a near autumn flowering form of G.rizehensis ...I have shown it some time before here :
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=6530.0
it is something special  ;)
With all the problems in last year winter I have lost this plant ...but a nice friends has sent me some new bulbs  :D
So I'm really happy with this flowers !
You are right - I have seen before many year plants of G.rizehensis in nature ...they was much later ( April )

Happy new year for all of you and a great snowdropseason  :).

Good to see your snowdrops flowering Hans, specially after all the troubles you had last season.

Hagen, that one is special looking. Please add more pictures when the flower is fully open. Like Brian I am very interested to see or the cream colour will contrast with the white when it is open.

Brian, Richard, Mike,
here is another pic from the creamy blossom. The most intensiv coloration (5th day).
Now cream fades to white.

Hagen, thank you for posting the picture.Special to see that the cream colour stays for a while ! It looks like the green on the
outers is the 'finish' line for the cream colour. Very nice snowdrop again Hagen, congratulations with this beauty  :D.
Will the cream totally turn into white ?

Uwe, I saw some Cornus stolonifera at the pics. Not so good.
Better to use Corylus avellana and Carpinus betulus!!!
