Galanthus - March 2015

[Irm]

From where I'm sitting, LICHTES GRÜN would translate as Light Green - which is quite different to Green Light.

If you go into a shop and ask for light green paint ....... then you go into another shop to ask for a green light - two entirely different things........

I thought garden visits were over some time ago but made a surprise visit yesterday.

1 & 2.  Galanthus ‘Neckless Wonder’
3.        A seedling NG750
4 & 5   Galanthus ‘Wolfgang’

[David King]

A final four.

1 & 2.  Galanthus ‘La Boheme’
3 & 4.  Galanthus ‘Dumpy Green’

[Brian Ellis]

You can just see the touch of green on the inner surface of the outer tepals in the second picture of 'Neckless Wonder' it hardly showed on the outer surgace at all.  A lovely snowdrop now on my wants list

Brian, David,
thank you so much for your fine pics of the late galanthus with green effects.
I never saw WOLFGANG before, now I have an idea of the plants.
And yes, NECKLESS WONDER is very unusual,
especially the way of the flowers but also the "inner" marks. 
Our season here is over now. We have to wait until end of september.
No problem. Anemone, scilla, trillium, hosta, paeonia, allium, hemerocallis are starting.
Last not least some pictures of galanthus:
HAGEN HASTDUNICHTGESEHN in the garden
ADE-LE one of the latest with nice green markings
SPRÖDER ADEL flowers like porcelains
GRÜNER STREIFENTROPFEN

[Hagen Engelmann]

A few more
KASPER IN GRÜN, a good contrasting flower in dark green and white
SCHALSCHWINGER, a fine curved spatha
NELLY'S NETTES, I got it from a very personal friend

[ian mcenery]

Still have few flowering still here including this one which is difficult for me

G krasnovii

[Brian Ellis]

Lovely snowdrops Hagen, a treat to see so many

[mark smyth]

Galadriel is still looking great in my garden which makes it a great addition for extending the season

and a nice surprise ... after years of no flowers my 'Greenish' has 5 flowers

SPRÖDER ADEL flowers like porcelains
GRÜNER STREIFENTROPFEN

Spröder Adel is very aptly named - a snowdrop with the reserved charme of old gentry!

[mark smyth]

Great to see those late flowers in a UK garden

Three snowdrops still looking great - 'Cicely Hall', nivalis 'Virescens' and elwesii 'Galadriel'. 'Virescens' came from ebay as 'Greenish' and hasn't flowered for years

Something from Avon is late flowering. It came as a dormant bulb as 'Sprite'

plicatus 'Timpany Late' with quite dark upper marks

[mark smyth]

In a garden over here there is a mixed group of woronowii and ikariae. This is what may be a hybrid between the two.

Here the snowdrops are now at their peak season this year, though last night it was -11C, I'll see later if that has damaged any of them.

You post so many pictures of lovely green snowdrops that it is impossible to decide which one I like the most, but 'Hagenhastdunichtgesehn' looks great!!

Here are some of my snowdrops from last week
G.nivalis 'Flore Pleno'
'Lady Beatrix Stanley'
Smaller 'Straffan' and taller 'Mrs Macnamara'
'Trymming'
'Washfield Colesbourne', I think this one is going to be one of my favourites

[Brian Ellis]

Good to see fresh snowdrops in Finland, Leena.  Here there are only a few left in flower so the season is really coming to an end for us...still only a few months to go before it all starts again

[Leena]

Thank you Brian.
Here are some more.

The first two are G.plicatus 'Oreanda'
'Ray Cobb' has multiplied from one to three flowers in one year. It is like a small elf.
'Merlin' hasn't multiplied much, I think I have to move it to some other bed.
'Falkland House' which flowers now ok, it was planted in late October 2013 and last year it made a deformed flower. I was expecting it to have bigger flower as I read that is belongs to Mighty Atom group??
