Galanthus in February 2017

[Josh Nelson]

A few from Friday:

- Ronald Mackenzie
- Rosemary Burnham joining the party
- Kildare (at least I think it is, as it's a lost label), throwing twins this year (as is G. Brian Hewitt)
- my own yellow, which seems to be growing well
- a plicate of mine with lightly lime-washed shoulders (the shoulder wash becomes less apparent as the flower matures and is strongest now)

Josh, these are nice! Please post again when the flower opens. The yellowish leaves also accent well! Is everything in that pot from the same parentage? My friend gave me some seed of Primrose Warburg in 2014 and I have yellowish and green leaf seedings coming up.

the green leaves are from another plant that got included in error when I was re-potting (the bulbs - 3 flowering and two small offsets, were part of the same small clump).  Will post when flower open!

 an unusual flower shape ...
it is a G elwesii, called DREISPITZ ... only 3 outers

John Finch would like that Hagen!

Morning patrol had a definite green theme this morning:

Maragret Biddulph, a new one for me, a gift from a great friend and forumist. A lovely drop with exceptional shape and markings. I had only seen the odd photo but this drop is even better in reality.

Caryl Baron, interesting shape and lovely markings.

Green Tear, looking as good as ever. Did not flower for me last year, so this year I am hoping for a direct comparison with some of the other major virescent drops such as Morgana and Castle Green Dragon.

Green Tear out in the garden at the moment with eight flowers plus five more buds to come.

Rannveig Wallis brought along a tray of different Trym seedlings to the AGS Snowdrop Day, yesterday.  This was my favourite; it was christened 'Lime Trym'

We all do!  But last time I spoke to him he was rushed off his feet with work!

Morning patrol had a definite green theme this morning:

My word Ingrid - for a woman who has been growing white 'drops happily for so many decades, you really have gone over to the green side lately!

[David King]

A nice clump of G. Corrin starting to look good in the garden this afternoon.

  Thanks Maggi, they are proving a lot more reliable than some yellows of recent times!  You and I can form a 'greens club' as you have also flirted with the virescent temptation!

Very nice Alan, do you have any photos of the others? I missed seeing them as they were constantly surrounded by admirers. Very good day at the AGS snowdrop day, well organised with great speakers.

I'm sorry, Richard, I only photographed that one.  By and large, I could do without seeing more Trym seedlings that look like other Trym seedlings but to my eyes 'Lime Trym' really stood out from the crowd.
