Did anyone buy a huge leaved, large flowered G. plicatus plicatus from Margaret Owen several years back? My label is gone. I'll photograph the whole plant tomorrow

Thank you Oakwood, for the pictures and observations of the snowdrops in the nature, I find them very interesting. :)

Not much left now but a few things clinging on in shady spots.

Exactly, Melvyn, here below our field observations from a known paper, 2013, p. 214, on a different types of vernation in a same population of G. elwesii sensu lato (cfr. G. graecus) in Greece and Ukraine. Such two type vernations have been observed not only in juvenile, but at fully generative individuals (vegetative clones). All Turkish G. elwesii sensu stricto plants have only supervolute vernation.
Very interesting and informative, Dimitri. Thank you very much!

Just from today found about 24 selections, no worldrecord but quite a lot and a lot administration.
At first look to nongalantophiles they look all the same, but with the inevitable wet knee you start seeing the differences ;D
They even grow in the water!
