Way to grow this beauty Steve. It clearly has a pinkish hue. I did not know it bloomed this early....very cool. The other Pink Panther seems to agree... ;)

Thats a coincidence. There must be two Mr. Grumpys. It is a name someone always calls me, I can,t think why.

 Does the pink show better with a white card behind the flower?

A nice find to come home to are these Galanthus reginae-olgae. No idea if they have a collection number or name as they came from an SRGC sales table a few years ago just labelled as Gr-o. Neither are they pink, but they are reliably my earliest blooming 'drops.
