The Maule family is related to the Dalhousie's i.e.

"MAULES IN THE RAMSAY FAMILY OF THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE

When William, Earl of Panmure of Forth and Viscount Maule of Whitechurch died in 1782, his brothers had pre-deceased him. None of his brothers had any children so the titles became extinct. In his will he left the Panmure estates in liferent to George, the second son of his sister Jean, with remainder to George's second son, William.

Jean had married George Ramsay, the 6th. Earl of Dalhousie but when the Panmure estates were inherited by William Ramsay and he was given the title Baron Panmure of Brechin and Navar, he assumed the arms and the name of Maule in accordance with the terms of his great-uncle's will. It is in this way that the Maule name came to be used in the family of the Earls of Dalhousie.

As the two sons of the Hon. William Maule of Ferne and Maulesden both died at a very young age this was the end of the use of the Maule surname in the Ramsay family. Many descendants, however, have continued to be given Maule as a middle name."

I am guessing another of the family homes.
This must be the origin of he variety Ramsay as well then?

Among the mixtures of Galanthus elwesii I bought in recent years were a few snowdrops with supervolute vernation and green leaves. Galanthus woronowii?

Galanthus woronowii?

I don't think so; woronowii would not have that basal mark on the inner petals.  There are rare examples of green-leaved forms amongst many snowdrop species that normally have glaucous leaves.  I once visited a garden that had a small number of green-leaved elwesii snowdrops scattered amongst the normal type.  That's probably what you have there.

An interestingly-marked example of Galanthus elwesii that has arisen in my garden.

Such shaded marks are really fascinating, Alan! And, furthermore, the long outers are beautifully shaped!

Thank You for giving Your opinion concerning the "Green elwesii". There were definitely 2 or more G. woronowii among the 100 G. elwesii I bought 2 years ago. But what puzzles me besides the basal mark are the stiffly upright, narrow leaves, so unlike G. woronowii. Otherwise the flowers show the typical form and size of this species.

Mariette, I agree that the form of the leaves, insofar as I can see them, does not look right for woronowii.  The bulbs you bought were most likely collected from wild populations so you could, potentially, get anything mixed-in.  It could be a hybrid or even be a new species of snowdrop hitherto unknown - but I think a green-leaved elwesii is most likely.  Whatever you have, it is quite rare

I'd suggest G. fosteri Mariette.

A brief flash of sunshine on morning patrol but fortunately the yellows took up the slack.

First up, Anne Wright's new one Dryad Gold Ribbon. Another very beautiful snowdrop in the Dryad Gold series. The inner mark is the largest and most prominent of the series and the outers more pointed. It is also distinctly taller than others so far released. When the sunlight strikes this variety, it seems to glow. In common with all of Anne's bulbs, there is already evidence of increase during it's first season.

Next, Sarah Dumont, another lovely yellow. Quite slow to bulk for me but making progress.

Finally, Lowick, which is increasing well.

I'd suggest G. fosteri Mariette.

Thank You, Ashley, the narrow leaves made me think of this, too, though it looks not as typical as the one growing in my garden. As Alan pointed out, G.e. with green leaves do exist, and it may be more likely to get such one with a mixture than the rarer G. fosteri. If the bulb clumps, IŽll give one to a more knowledgeable  person than I am to judge.
