I can't find that snowdrop now Anne as I didn't put it on my watchlist.

Maybe another forum member watchlisted it.

It definitely had the same sticky out bits in the centre of the flower.

Galanthus lagodechianus today. These bulbs came originally from Savisaar in Estonia.

I like 'Valentine's Gift'! Very aptly named.
Maggi, your garden is beautiful - a very harmonious spring planting.

After 10 days of glorious sunshine and warm days my snowdrops are almost done. Only G. plicatus 'John Long' is still going strong...

We have now had three warm sunny days in a row - remarkable in itself!
Yesterday I noticed that some flowers are past - but they are the ones which have been out for many weeks already. Even if  we reach the 16 degrees C that we are told we  might have today, there will still be good flowers for some time yet - isn't it good that there are some "plus" points to Scottish weather?  ::)
