As is known, there are chimeras - chimeras in snowdrops have 1-2 petals of the wrong kind and coloration than the other petals. For example, they have a green label.
It was hypothesized, that this is a "sectoral chimera" and when ""Twin-Scaling" bulb snowdrop, if you cut into a large number of sectors (at least 6). You can "unhook chimera" and get a snowdrop that ALL petals will have a similar green label.
Such a seemingly promising way of obtaining interesting shapes.
In 2014, I purposely made a "Twin-Scaling" of a whole group of chimeric plants (different variants of the "chimeras") Galanthus plicatus.
This year, part of the young plants bloomed for the first time..
Unfortunately, on more young plants, such an entertaining hypothesis was not confirmed.
In all cases, when the chimera was numbered, young specimens were given a similar chimera.
The most revealing one was a sample, where out of 8 onions 3 - all the chimeras blossomed, there the chimeras are the same.
Here are their photos
