Galanthus graecus "Popcorn" and Galanthus nivalis "Chuhayster"

[Oakwood]

So, just a question on a final naming of snowdrop found some years ago here in Ukraine. Does this proposed name reflect a whole appearance and a mood of this cultivar? 

[emma T]

Yes 

[Maggi Young]

Certainly , yes - I nearly ate it!

[snowdropcollector]

Good name picking  , it is a good choice for this snowdrop !

[Richard Williams]

Great name and great find. But it isn't,  how can I say this tactfully..... the best looking snowdrop I've ever seen. I'm sure there would be a cue of people lining up to get their hands on this little oddity but is a bit too 'different' for me. It must have been great discovering this though and bringing it into cultivation.

[Brian Ellis]

Certainly the most suitable name for this one.  Nobody could dispute that - surely?

[johnw]

Now I have to disagree.  The name was well-suited whilst the plant was in the wild but I'm afraid in cultivation it is not living up to its name and frankly looks quite disheveled.  Is it possible it will do a turn around a return to its rather snappy appearance?

Great name, just like a popped kernel of corn in the wild photos.  Were the cultivation photos of flowers that had started to go by?

funny name, well done Oaky

Ye gods, a split-corona snowdrop! Popcorn is just the correct name.

[Oakwood]

okey! thanks to all!  accepted!

[Oakwood]

and one more poll, how about this finding G. nivalis "Chuhayster" ? (chuhayster - in the Ukrainian Carpathian epos it is a wood goblin). I think this one also really differs from traditional snowdrop flower form concept

I think you are, unfortunately, correct Dimi
