Yellow Snowdrops

[MR GRUMPY]

I think Green witch turned into Monti Picentini, which is a far better name in my humble opinion.

[Brian Ellis]

It would be helpful to know which category added snowdrops belong too:  sandersii, GRYM, YOGIM etc which would add to the usefulness of the list.  When the weather is not so good I'll indicate on the original list at the top of the thread.

[Brian Ellis]

I've just been in warm fluffy haze , drooling at the mouth  ......back to reality  ..I've actually been reading SRGC International Rock Gardener magazine by Hagen and noticed another one missing from the list 'Blonde Erika' .I also grow one from Holland nivalis 'Blonde Betty' .

Thanks Steve I've amended the list accordingly!

That was kind of her.

Well I should be outside in the garden but thought it was long overdue to start to section the snowdrops so here they are.  Do PM me if you can attribute any of the others to these first groups and I will move them.

'Yellow Angel' must be in a class of its own as an albino with a yellow receptacle.  http://johngrimshawsgardendiary.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/winter-gardens-tour.html

I think it would sit with Audrey Vockins syn Gunter's Geist in the tinted group? No, perhaps not...but no doubt there are others for which that could be said and we could endlessly divide the list, far better to have a few in a group don't you think?

[Mariette]

Does anybody know which name has priority, ´Audrey Vockins´or ´Günters Geist´?

Mariette I am about to separate them.  According to Freda Cox 'Audrey Vockins' is a plicatus and 'Günter's  Geist' is sandersii although in Günter's book he says they are the same plant.  Perhaps someone who grows them can let us know.

[Alan_b]

... far better to have a few in a group don't you think?

Absolute, but some obvious groupings will give rise to small groups e.g.

Doubles
Lady Elphinstone
Netherhall Double Yellow

and I think that's the lot for that group.

Thanks for Your effort, Brian! It would be great to learn that there are already three of this kind, which I like so very much. Another may be the G. r.o. Ruben showed earlier, but that one was not named, then.

´Kelways´may join the YOGIM group, if it becomes available.

[steve owen]

Mariette, I think G.Kelways in filtering out slowly.

Just a little note about 'Midas' - Alan asked me to say that although Val's article says that there are possibly 300 bulbs now - these are all at various stages of growth and are certainly not all flowering size yet!!
