Another few.

Ha! Made you look!!
Somethings been eating the outer segments....

One of the reverse pocs. Seems to be increasing quite well.

The photograph of Dryad Gold b is my favourite, Anne.  But I could easily change my mind if I was there to make a side-by-side comparison.  And the 'reverse poc' is lovely; did you breed that one also?

[Hagen Engelmann]

Anne, your Golden pictures are a festival for my eyes,
but no idea what could be the best flower.
All give a good feeling.
Very fine inverse poc.
Not only another TRYM-baby.
Very specially!!!
Best fingers work with
good luck!

Well I like 4,5,6, Anne,the pictures look as though they are a stronger yellow,colourwise, and of course the reverse poc

[annew]

The inverse poc is one of mine too. This one is better!

[Brian Ellis]

It certainly is!  They are all a credit to you Anne, I particularly like the shorter sturdier ones like 8.

Here lies the problem - if you found one new yellow snowdrop in your garden, you would name it wouldn't you (and stick it on ebay!), but if you have 20 or so.... which to name? And what to do with the rest?

It certainly is!  They are all a credit to you Anne, I particularly like the shorter sturdier ones like 8.

It will be interesting to see if the stems elongate as the flower ages. Although the ones in the open garden were quite short last year.

Mercy, Anne - you  do make beautiful babies !

I'm not a huge fan of the yellows usually, but I like same  the ones Brian does . I also find myself admiring your reverse pocs - and I think it is because I know you grow your plants hard  in Tockwith - and so I suspect these may all be really tough little gems which will do well  in other gardens too.

[Melvyn Jope]

Anne many thanks for showing us your plants, I think Dryad Gold B is especially beautiful.

[Matt T]

Dryad Gold 8 gets my vote. The shorter stature makes for well a proportioned plant and the yellow is a good rich colour.

Anne, lovely plants !! Congratulations with your result of hard work.
My personal favourites, B & K 

[Mariette]

A lovely choice of golden snowdrops, Anne! Dryad Gold 5 appears to make a difference, having broader ATPs, which render an umbrella-like shape to the flower. Although I like the elegant shape of the others as well. Before You send any to the compost-heap - they´d be very welcome here!
My personal aim is to combine yellow ovaries and marks with mid- to darkgreen leaves, for better contrast.
