Galanthus from Czech Rep.

[Maggi Young]

I am absolutely sure that if the authors of the Snowdrop book, or any other, came to the SRGC with a proposal to provide such a project for the SRGC Website, then it would be happily received.

[Maggi Young]

It must be said that to an enviable extent, the Forum already provides all of you with the opportunity  to post your photos of plants, and discuss them....

What I would also encourage you all to to do, is to compile a file of photos, PLUS a description of vital details/ cultivation conditions and so on, and submit these regularly for inclusion into the main website's plant gallery.
You may send your submissions to infoATsrgc.org.uk  ..... changing the AT for @ !!

Hi all ,

Here are now some pics of cultivars from Czech. Rep.

Snow White Gnom - thats the tiniest little plant I know ( high 4 cm)
Bohemia White ( I have shown this plant also in a other topic )
Tatjana ( there is a bit confusion with this plant -sometimes not correct written the name -and sometimes other pics - my plant is from the finder and it is named after his wife -I have the label written from him )
unnamed - a nice plants also from Czech .Rep.

Hans  - Can you tell me more about the inner segment markings on your 'Snow White Gnom'.  From the picture they appear yellow at the base but look more like embossing in the shape of an ellipse with no colour?    Hard to tell more.

The Bohemia White is also a beauty.

Please look here on the pics from Hagen - maybe it is now more clear :

this plants are really small ( look in the Galanthus bible ( page 98 )
http://www.garten-in-den-wiesen.de/bilder/galanthus/bestand/pages/BOHEMIA%20WHITE.htm
my plants are mostly pure with - but some have small markings ( like the wrong 'Tatjana' from page 96 )

I hope this helps you a bit

I heard they are working on a new snowdropbible and this time with more photographs and the latest newnamed snowdrops. I hope they do not only use a picture of the flower but from the whole plant, so that you can see the leafsort and structure as well.

I agree, Gerard, more photos are needed and of flower and leaves...... I can't see the point otherwise.

Hans  - Thanks for the link. Do I detect a bit of yellow on the inner tip on yours or is it the anthers showing through?

There really are some very nice green-tips coming out of the Czech Republic, Wolfgang.

Wolfgang,

A wonderful selection of snowdrops. Many thanks. Paddy

Thanks Wolfgang

Some nice green tipped plants - but I particularly like the pale green of the ovary on your picture 938.

I take a look before mintues to my "Snow White Gnomes" ...I can see there nothing yellow or shining antheres - the inner petals are mostly pure white or they have a really small marking .

I hope this will help

Hi Wolfgang

thank you for posting the pictures of the Galanthus carpets spread throughout the woodland.

Can I ask, do you know what the sign says in the last photograph?

With many thanks

John

[Maggi Young]

I think that sign warns of fines of large sums of money for interfering with the snowdrops in any way...... I hope I'm correct, and I hope that the signs are paid attention to by all visiting those lovely sites.
