Galanthus - July 2018

[Anthony Hawkins]

Michael J Barrett - I believe there is a register of snowdrop names.  This thread http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11561.0 says somehing about the process.

ADDED] And here is a sample page from the online register https://www.kavb.nl/zoekresultaten?offset=20

Galanthus elwesii is the best snowdrop in our garden. I was amused to see a printed plastic label for this Turkish 'drop as "The True English Snowdrop"
I've mentioned previously that it is starting to self sow and the first pic shows them spreading in the rock gardn - the middle cluster is the original planting and they have spread further up and down - obviously assisted by ants.
The original ones had a single green patch on the lower part of the inner petal but some of the seedlings have 2 patches and one has quite a big green blotch over most of the inner petal! One even has 4 petals - it sits alone so I'll have to mark it to see if it repeats next year

Thanks for the link to the thread Anthony , very kind of you to search for it, and added it here.
Fermi, the naturalised drift of Galanthus looks wonderful, especially with the rocks . I hope you get to enjoy them over the weekend with a bit of sunshine. Enjoy every minute.

And then he thought, why not add a photo to be enjoyed...

Thanks for the link to the blog Fermi. Viv certainly has shone a light on some wonderful cultivars and I learnt quite a bit reading the blog.

Hi Michael,
yes, Viv's done a great job - as usual!
Here's a little charmer that has managed to survive in our garden though not really thrive.
I think it's Galanthus rizehensis

Nice overview. That Angie Otto's Hybrid is especially very interesting!

One of our Galanthus elwesii seedlings looks a bit sinister!
