Galanthus - February 2015

[Irm]

Paul, You have clear eyes and happy hands, like we German  say.........

sagen wir das 

I love 'Nova Amore'    the plant and the name ..

.. and here is 'Cornwood'

Another few snowdrops.

Picture 1: Galanthus "Green of Hearts"
Picture 2: Galanthus elwesii "Moses' Basket", you love it or you hate it... I love it!
Picture 3: Galanthus plicatus "Glenorma", is there still anyone that does not grow this fantastic snowdrop?
Picture 4: Galanthus "Greenfinch"

Well, I don't!  In fact I don't have any of those you show - and I don't have most of the others shown in these pages - if I made a list of all the ones I don't grow, I would nearly have as big a book as Matt!

[annew]

I don't either!

[Richard Williams]

Nope me neither, but on the list (very long and expensive list)

[Hagen Engelmann]

Ja Irmchen, ein glückliches Händchen und ein gutes Auge möchte man schon haben,
und Paul hat wohl beides 

[SnowClock]

You all should, though...

Thank you for the kind comments guys. The names are just for ease of reference, but hopefully I will be able to say that these are stable and vigorous forms!

I don't either but I could make labels for all of those "varieties"and put them to any number of ones tat I have and no one would know the difference,It's a farce

I am also fond of 'Moses Basket", mine are increasing quite well from a small twin-scale and behaving.
I don't grow "Glenorma" but then I really like the tinies  .

[Maggi Young]

John - I hadn't thought of that - cunning idea ..... almost as expensive as accumulating the 'drops though, by the time you get enough labels!  I may not bother after all!

How are your Hepaticas coming along - it must be getting near "time" ?

[johngennard]

What sought of labels do you use Maggie ??Gold plated !!!

[Maggi Young]

Plated , John? Certainly not - the gilding wears off too quickly......

Hello Galanthophyles

This snowdrop appeared in my garden last year.



I like its reasonably large size, its spoon shaped petals and its strong markings.
What do you think?
I grow about 30 varieties but this does not seem to be like any of those.
Does it remind you of anything?

Steven

I should have known !!
