If bought it would be 'Ronald McKenzie' so I guess that is what you should call it.

Wow - what a colour!  :o  It looks as if it might glow in the dark. Does it increase well?

It does glow especially the large inner mark. It glows like a yellow highlighter pen

I only got it last year so don't know if it increases well

Mark, your G. "Ronald Mackenzie" is terrific.  The color is very deeply saturated  and it really is a stand out.  Nice photos. Laughing at the spelling of the name of the cultivar as I have seen it three ways so far. I think the above is how the person's name is spelled. Rick

G. 'Ron McKenzie' or should it be 'Ronald McKenzie'?

Aren't they two different varieties? 'Ron' is banana yellow and 'Ronald' is lemon yellow. Very easy to tell apart, all you need is a spectrophotometer which surely most gardeners have these days.  ;D ;D

Main point being that the gentleman's name is Mackenzie    rather than Mckenzie or McKenzie  :)

Yes, apologies for earlier misspelling but I was more focussed on the fact that the plant is named 'Ronald Mackenzie' not 'Ron Mackenzie', however well you might know him.

I'll have a look at the inners again Mark. It will be dark when I get home so will try to grab a look tomorrow morning.

The pictures of your snowdrop are really stunning.
