Yes Melvyn, I know some of you  ;)

Brian, my bulbs had a lot of dry summer days.
I refreshed them in the first week of September with watering can (weather report only showed sun and sun and sun).
So they are early in blooming.

I have one peshmenii almost open under glass. Outside there is no sign yet. 

No photo, though - but   I can tell you what it looks like  - a snowdrop  ::) ;)

I also grow peshmenii, but none of mine have broken the surface of the pots.  They have received water and today the garden is getting plenty after more than a week without :)

I always like seeing your snowdrops - one of your new selections in the main season should be named "Green with Envy" :) ;D :)

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

Hagen  - Is peshmenii hardy in the garden there?  I wonder if you rate it hardier or more tender than reginae-olgae.

Yes, I did the same Hagen, but we have had dry weather recently too which has held them back.  We have been away twice in the last month and I was going to give them some more water if I had been at home.  Never mind they will still come up ;D

Only one diffident question of mine - and 16 replies at one day. Now our autumn snowdrop thread has a good pulsation. In future I will say Scots forum, OK Maggi?  ;)  The only thing I would like to say - If you do not like to wait for a late start of the autumn season (of course of Galanthus),
please try also Galanthus peshmenii (give rain protection im summer), this species is it worth, really!!!

The reply-number makes me happy  :)
