Galanthus plicatus 'Baxendale's Late'.

I guess we know it is near the end of the season (in England) when we start seeing pictures of 'Baxendale's Late'.  I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms already.

Ian was looking at the garden, just before leaving to talk at the Stirling Group this evening -  The snowdrops are looking pretty, he says - next year we should have a garden open when the English events are over .....

Luckily I was already sitting down .
 Not able to speak,  reduced to opening an closing my mouth like a guppy,  he took pity on me: No, it wouldn't work - we've got no labels.....

Phew, he had me worried there.......

[Gerard Oud]

In that case, can I be the guy with the whip?

With such a strong forummembers we dont need a whip, but i do the drums

[Brian Ellis]

Can I assume I'm the only one who has both?

Perhaps not Mark, I believe it was being sold this year at the sales, but I missed out on them.

Another looking nice today

Cowhouse green

That a fantastic shot of 'Cowhouse Green', Ian.  I really wonder if that snowdrop doesn't look better in photographs than it does in life.  I've certainly come across some pallid unattractive examples when looking round gardens.

Super snowdrop though.

A great photo Ian..............hopefully my clump will soon have as many flowers

I really like 'Cowhouse Green'. It has a good sized flower it's green colouring is a little softer then the more recent virescent introductions.

I think Cowhouse Green looks best when its open and you can have a close look at it

[Matt T]

I like the way that the green on the inner 'bleeds' up the side of the petal.

 My 'Hercule' is 25cms to the top of the spathe with leaves 20cms long and 2cms wide - so quite a chunky chap - but he's only a lad - I think I only got him last year.

Little Ben is taller than mine!
