Congratulations Maggi for your own snowdrop! :) It looks lovely.
'Puff Ball' is also very much to my taste, nice round flower.

From today








Galnthus 'Corrin'  - one of  my favourites

It was a rather grey day, as you can see - when the sun was out the other day I was too busy enjoying the heat on my bones to bother taking out the camera!

Lovely Maggi, Corrin is very beautiful.

I've been looking at snowdrops by the million (give or take 1,000) at Horstead House near Norwich today - a fantastic garden with swans on the water and naturalised snowdrops among the beech trees. I arrived quite late in the afternoon and think I caught a glimpse of the lesser-spotted forumist Brian just leaving.

And another one from Chris, but this time a single flowering, named form: Galanthus nivalis 'Trust' with a stable green/yellow marking. Colour is kept from day one of flowering until the end.

And some other forms you don't see that much.

Galanthus, Iseghem Group. A Belgian find from Ruben Billiet. (2 x)
Galanthus 'Lucas William'. A Dutch find from Gert Geensen.
Galanthus 'Jupes Bell'. An Irish find from Angela Jupe.
And Galanthus nivalis 'Grakes Monster'. A Belgian find from Valentin Wijnen. (Started from one bulb and now every flower in the group is different)

That was quite a volley! Adonis, Leucojum and now Galanthus.  :o

Love the stout little 'Lucas William'. Is it a hybrid?
