A few snowdrops in bloom today. The third and fourth day of flowering. Tint enhanced with time. Pollen on the petals do not. I was looking through a microscope. I can make a macro photo.

Hi There,
   Mrs Macnamara is making another strong challenge for 'Snowdrop of the Year' round here. I do hope this rather exposed clump sees a little sunshine before the next band of weather sweeps in!

I know how you feel, Tim. Trying to get the flowers to open for a photo is a losing battle! I took some of potted one inside yesterday, the scent was fabulous!

Hi Anne,
       Thanks for the selection of photos... If you include the cultivar names in the text of the message then there is a chance that the search engine will find them. So... in a few months time... if someone wants to know what eg 'Margery Fish' looks like the search engine might bring up your post.

Lovely Anne and appreciated on this cold day as we ascend to the freezing point.  Is there a chance of a close-up of the markings on 'Fieldgate Prelude'?  My Fieldgates are muddled.

By the magic of Maggi, the names appeared! Wonder if she can do the same with all my labels.... ::) Will try harder next time.

Thanks Anne.  With both the markings seem to fade unpredictably especially in the upper halves, the only guide seems to be the swollen feet of the lower halves. Still at a loss.
1 - Fieldgate Prelude?

2 - Fieldgate Superb
3 - Fieldgate Superb
4 - Fieldgate Prelude or Superb

Flowering times are compressed here but looking at old pix from the ghouse the Prelude? does seem to flower a month ahead of the other but hard to say what other variables were at play.

Goodness knows how they'd behave in your climate, John, but here Fieldgate Prelude is one of the first to flower, and Fieldgate  Superb practically the last. F.Superb is also much larger and beefier.

Nice pics. Are the plants in open ground or sheltered in some way? Thanks
