Galanthus in January 2017

My Phantom is still a single nose, so maybe when it fattens?

Feed it well then Anne, I'm sure you do anyway.

Over here it was required reading for first level English.  A goldmine but was hell to keep them all straight, let alone how to spell Bulfinch.

I'd like to say it was the misspelling that confused me, but I've never heard of it. Must see if I can get a copy.

I'm sure it's been superceded by ones that haven't cut out the juicier bits.

so two different flowers from the same bulb! UNIQUE!"

Unique?  Haven't we seen one that produces a single and a double from the same bulb?  Ian Christie's, I think.

Quite so, but it's all a question of chronology, I think you'll find that Avon's was the first to be sold.

This is the first snowdrop to flower in my garden. I have no idea of the name though but would like to know. Does anybody recognize it?

[Alan_b]

Can you tell us which species it is, Hoy?  Plicatus?

Sorry Alan, regarding Galanthus I know next to nothing. I was hoping to be enlighted!

Foliage looks  to be applanate.....

I did forget that the leaves were that important. This is the best picture I have today. Can take a better one tomorrow.

After the excitement of yesterday, it was great to get back to morning patrol in freezing conditions but glorious sunshine here.

What a greeting:

Ronald Mackenzie flowering today and looking spectacular. It is a gorgeous yellow.

One of the Castle series from Ian Christie, looking better each day.

Mrs McNamara looking lovely through the Cornus Midwinter Fire.

Three Ships still billowing 6 weeks after it normally has gone over in front of Daphne Odora coming into flower, also very late this year.

Mine are just poking up edit ... they're up and my one bulb is now two and both are twinscaped

Just had a great visit to see the snowdrops at the Christies.
Ian Christie with his newly named Galanthus 'Alice Bell' named after his mother.
and yes it was cold !

Great to see some pics from your garden, Ingrid!
Ian must be very impressed with his snowdrop to name it for his mother - I'll look forward to seeing it.

Also a bit underwhelmed by Galanthus 'Phantom'. Am I missing something?

Just before work I brought mine in to open  not a poc either
