Just back from 10 days away and so much has moved on in the garden! This Galanthus reginae-olgae is also a new one for me this year, from Anne Wright.

The Galanthus season is definitively started in the garden with reginae-olgae. First a picture of a 'real' r.-o. 'Blanc de Chine' flower and second, particularly for Mark, r.-o. 'Ruby Baker' with not as much green as last year but still with green stripes.

Top Gr-o cultivars, Freddy.
A Gr-o with green marks on the outers is fine.
In the moment I have only normal G r-o in bloom and the Gp look poor, compared to your pics.

Here is a normal colored Gp with fine globular flowers. 
First picture shows on the left a normal Gr-o flower.

Oh, the autumn season starts very slowly in the Scotch forum.
But why? Nobody likes G peshmenii in UK?
Here are two more seedlings.

Two more stunners from Hagen. Are these from seeds you collected, hybridized or other? Beautiful.

Lovely peshmenii Hagen, but the first of my 'drops are only just through the ground less than a centimetre.
