Suddenly lots of mentions of Galanthus platyphyllus! ... mine 'died' but just now while looking out of the window a little bit of white caught my eye blowing in the wind. How exciting to have it back.

How lovely Mark!  A nice treat upon return home I'd say.

Mine is still not fully emerged and seems to be one of the very very late ones.  Seedlings have yet to emerge so fingers crossed.

'Lady Beatrix Stanly' seems to be a good doer for me. I planted a small bulb spring 2011, next spring 2012 only two small leaves came up, but then spring 2013 there was one flower and now there are four flowers. :)
Picture taken yesterday when the temperature was around zero Celsius. last night it was almost -11C, but from tomorrow on it will be warmer and the snow will melt away :).

Lovely to have it back indeed, what position/conditions are you growing yours in Mark?

Brian, they're in a raised trough with a free draining mix and no extra water during hot weather in the summer

Cheers Mark, I think we are on a steep learning curve trying to satisfy their requirements :-\

Galanthus plicatus ssp byzantinus 'Joe Sharman'

Do we know who named this for Joe Sharman?  It's an excellent snowdrop but as Joe rose to prominence with 'Wendy's Gold', perhaps a yellow one would have been more appropriate - not that those are easy to find.  In fact I guess Joe himself has the best unnamed one with his yellow Trym, still to see the light of commercial availability.

Byzantinus???
Looks like true G plicatus from the Crimea area and not ssp byzantines. I have my doubts too Steve, maybe its to cover the source :o
