They are tough little things, Leena. I've been too busy to do any work on my 'display' garden this year, but I could still spot Three Ships struggling up through the debris! What a terrific snowdrop it is. Faringdon Double , Barnes and a few others are also making an attempt.

Today we are past the deep freeze we had been in for over a week. And look what was found happily blooming, G. 'Remember Remember'.

It is so nice to see flowers and also to see the order which they come up and flower in warmer climates, so it is easier to decide what to try to grow here. :)

Blooming at the winter solstice in Virginia, G. elwesii 'Standing Tall' - hardly tall yet, but if the weather warms it will elevate.

I posted pictures of a yellowish snowdrop from a local garden centre last month. And now its leaves look growing enough for ID, please.

Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Tilebarn Jamie' has put in a very late appearance. Slightly out of focus!

.... ID, please.
It is indeed galanthus elwesii, as identified by your friend.  There is only one yellow elwesii known in cultivation, 'Carolyn Elwes', and it is not to everybody's taste as it has a sickly look to it.  You have a real treasure there, if it always comes yellow like that.
Almost in Scotland.

Thank you, Alan :) I've already sent a copy of your comment to my friend.
This yellow is probably stable. The friend of mine gave me this as "yellowish snowdrop" and it shows same colour at my place ;)

Merry Christmas to all our friends. May you all have a happy and peaceful New Year and good growing! Whoever guesses the most cultivars in the picture will receive a life size giclee print. They are all mainstream varieties.  :) :)
