Krzysztof - Great to see you back again.  Some great finds you've made there.  Catching the Galanthus bug are we? ;)

Can anyone help ? I bought this snowdrop last year in GB at rareplants as 'Pusey green tips'. It isn't, but what is it  ???  ;)

This looks a little bit like 'Edinburgh Ketton' - not saying it is it though

Mark, you were asking last week if anyone still had Galanthus in bud.  These were photographed on Friday but are much further on now.

John, I call it treasure hunting and I intend to do it regularly. :D When I will be rearranging some part of my garden, I will definitely plant there a nice collection of Galanthus forms, found, swapped and bought.

'Bowles Large' and 'Galadriel' are the only fresh looking snowdrops in the garden  :'(. The height difference between all 'Galadriel' is interesting 15 to 35cm / 6 to 14 inches. The flowers also vary in size

Not usually a fan of the Baconesque varieties but I am warming to Boyd's Double  :o

However, I do love the 'yellows' and Bill Boardman has appeared and is stunning! A resting bulb from Alan Street's Avon list and a real beauty  8)

I'm glad that one survived the rigours of it's first winter with you, Leena.  I cannot help admiring any picture of it that I see.
