Thanks for all your ideas, folks. Will be keeping my eye on them all, and I hope I'll have reports on those few that are already in other gardens.

I don't remember it flowering last year, so time will tell.

Dear Galanthophiles,

I was just wondering whether someone has experience with the New Zealand cultivar G. Hughes Emerald in garden conditions in our climate? I'm currently growing the plant in a pot in which it thrives and I'd like to give it a shot in the garden as well.

greetings,
