Snowdrop names

[Maggi Young]

It's one of the group of seedlings from Wendy's Gold x lutescens that I showed last year. As a working name, I'm using 'Dryad Gold series' with a clone number so I can put DG1, DG5 etc on the labels. Saves graphite.

Aha, I remember now - and here's a link to Anne's great post with  a compilation of an array of the seedlings -

That's a lovely pot of snowdrops, Anne.  But judging by the number you have, it must be a minimum of 8 years since you actually made the crosses.  I wish I had your foresight.

The seeds were sown in 2006 - the ones in the pot have been chipped

That's excellent progress, Anne.  Have you thought about cross breeding some of the virescent snowdrops?  A Lutescent (?) snowdrop (i.e. yellow rather than green) would be something to behold.

Working on it... Yes, that's number 5 from last year. It just happens to be the one in a pot on its own, most of the others are keeping each other company in baskets. It's not as easy to assess them like that, though.

T'bad  ai hav to reed it 2 or 3 times to fully understand it and i am Dutch

Fair point well made, Gerard, but you ARE exceptionally polyglot and Yorkshire is far and away the most important of the English dialects. I would be happy to give some private tuitiion in return for a few of your poa galanthus

One o' T'yelleruns..

It's a belter, Anne, but I thought the whole group you posted photos of last year looked good.

Does anyone still say 'Bobby Dazzler'?
