Some Galanthus plicatus.  The first was photographed at Lake Abant, where the Galanthus grow amongst the trees.  The second photo shows Galanthus plicatus growing in the open at Yedi Goller

What a lovely collection of pictures Arthur but I doubt if I could get Maureen into boots and a rucksack these days!

David

Boots and a rucksack are not essential on my holidays in Turkey and Greece.  Iran is somewhat different and does require a degree of fitness - not yet achieved.

All plants were within 10 yards of the road.

I just shouted down stairs to tell her your reply Arthur. She said to tell you:- no swimming pool; no deck chairs; no four star hotel; no restaurants; and above all NO SHOPS-so I aint going. They don't make 'em like they used to.

Super pictures Arthur!
Is the yellow Onosma O. taurica. This is a beautiful plant to see in nature. I only know some Onosma in the gardens.

Perhaps a visit to see some of the rarer snowdrops like Galanthus trojanus Mark?

I saw G. trojanus at the weekend but too late to take a photo because the sun was too low
