Galanthus in February 2017

[Maggi Young]

Now you're talking, Ingrid!  Purest white with rich dark marking on the Whiter than White  and the  very pretty Lemongrass.
Very smart 'drops indeed.  I know you've told me about Lemongrass but I think these are the first photos I've seen? Certainly the first that I remember making an impact.

 edit to add- on checking I see your pix from last year - this is better!

Thanks Maggi,have been scratching my head,how to rotate them   

[Maggi Young]

Hard for the person posting them, I think, because it's to do with the way they were taken in the first place - but I can mostly  turn them around.

A new drop from Ian Christie - it's hoped it will  be called  G. plicatus 'Puff Ball'

What was supposed to be a quick walk round this afternoon turned into a bit of a marathon.  120 pictures later I went in.  A few from earlier.

1.  G Green Tear - but much further out than previous post.
2.  G South Hayes - one of my favourites
3.  G Lace Wing
4.  G Fée Clochette

Great pictures as usual David

Glad you are up and about Chas, love the picture of 'Yaffle' in particular.  It must like damper gardens!!

Finally also here the first snowdrops are starting to flower. Galanthus reginae has a late season and still plants emerge nearly at the same time as subsp. vernalis.

I've been outed!  Ian Christie has released a picture of me in snowdrop form - the short and very sturdy Galanthus plicatus 'Maggi Young'



 Must confess that although I'd like to think the name came from the inner mark which I am sure in my plants consists of an M over a Y, for Maggi Young, I suspect that it was chosen for the short stocky and generally substantial look of the whole thing! Ah well, I could be squinny and a dirty yellow, so I'm pleased with me!
Thanks, Ian.

I'll try to get the BD to take pictures of my bulbs tomorrow if the sun opens them.
