Why don't all snowdrops multiply like this

Wouldn't it be great if all snowdrops multiplied like this

Maidwell L has 8 daughter bulbs surrounding two main bulbs

It would be fun if they did 
What a very nice bottom that is......

I suspect you need the right snowdrop clone in the right soil with the right weather to achieve that, Mark.

These two live in the greenhouse and have had no water since the leaves started to turn yellow. They did get a liquid feed once a month.

A few disasters though with some bulbs just dry husks

Mark - I know what a multiplier 'Maidwell L' is but yours are in overdrive.  Do tell us about your mix.

Wonder what it comes up like from seed, as I have seedlings?

That's amazing Mark.
Look at all those little roots just itching to grow.

You make me laugh Maggi

Looks like several bottoms all trying to get on the same seat!

The last seat in musical chairs Anne.

It rained today in the greenhouse

Just repotting a few today.  G. elwesii v, Whittallii seems to have the same problem here, one marked "1 v large bulb 8/2013" is now a family of 14.

One thing is for certain, I cannot take the blame.
