Galanthus February 2016

Thanks Ian for the encouragement on Rosemary Burnham.  I have only recently got the bug for collecting Snowdrops.
Here is a photo of both Sophie North and Rosemary Burnham bought as rested bulbs last year.
I am waiting for a few more bulbs to arrive from Avon Bulbs between now and March.
I have found the forum very helpful and informative. Cheers

It's very addictive, Susan!
You have one of my special favourites there, Sophie North, which I have just added to my collection this year too.
Happy collecting!

I agree very addictive

Sophie North is a really elegant plant it grows well enough but I don't think it will ever make a huge clump here. Here is a picture of it opening from last week

Lovely clumps of snowdrops Ian.
Also I have Rosemary Burnham, one bulb, planted last summer, and I hope it will for a clump here in time. All are still under snow here now.
Sandersii Lowick also looks nice and a good increaser.

Thank you Leena

By the way I love your garden shots they are always very artistic

A nice Scharlockii selection with 3 ears....it is stable

Some seedlings appearing in the garden, fun to have and to see them develope

[Cfred72]

Unpretentious, some bulbs that propagates home. I had brought the wood few years ago.

Some nice clumps there Fred!

A nice frilly seedling from Wendy's Gold x Corrin, but specially since it contains yellow genes - make next generation?

[Maggi Young]

That outer mark is  a good one - if you can raise a yellow next generation it would be  very different - it's quite  "other" with the frill already!

Now GRUIN is ringing

Hagen, one of the very best!

Hello Cyril,  Any chance of a   close-up  extract from your original picture to show the  ribbing more clearly?

[Cyril L]

Maggi, here is a close-up, cropped from the original photo.  I will try to get a new close-up shot tomorrow.

[Maggi Young]

Thanks Cyril, I think that shows it pretty well.
