This mornings patrol, before the rain, revealed the beautiful Seraph, delightfully white without inner markings.

Believed named due to its resemblance to a 'six-winged heavenly body', I also think a contributory factor may be the apparent crown of gold visible through the top of the outers.

At one stage thought to be extinct, thankfully not, as it is striking and stunning.

A very attractive feature Ingrid :D

Could this be the best yellow snowdrop? It's the best I have seen

It's not 'Cutie-Pie', Hagen, as she is not in flower yet this year.

Almost in Scotland.

Alan B ..I like your 'Cutie-Pie' it looks to have a touch longer outer petals than the other named i-pocs.

Terrific gracilis Tony just showed. And that yellow, Mark, it doesn't get much better than that. And what ever you are showing Alan is a cutie pie to my eye. About all I have here today is a gale force wind and snow blown and frozen G. e. 'Zwanenburg', hoping for some sun and a tough G. e. 'Yvonne Hay' enduring the same.
