Galanthus in November 2018

[Harald-Alex.]

in my new glas-house now grow more than 60 new varieties of snowdrops for my snowdrop-garden next year! Some of them I will show in the first springflower-show of Torgau in 9. and 10. march 2019 and then set in the garden. some of the snowdrops are wild varieties from the homelands, which get a special place here!

I don't have any named varieties of autumn flowering snowdrops.  Galanthus corcyrensis flowers over a long period. 

A small group in full sun in the front garden flowering on October 30th



This group in the back garden, pictured on November 10th get no sun all the time they are above ground and spend most of the summer shaded by a large hosta.

Nice large groups, and a well-shaped selection, too! In our area, G. reginae-olgae is not always hardy. This nameless one is not very showy, but survived the last 15 or more years outdoors. Alas, it´s not such a prolific grower as´Cambridge´and ´Tilebarn Jamie´.

[Edgar Wills]

Nice roros guys.
This weird reginae-olgae decided to show late, had to open the flower by hand, but there were 5 outers to my surprise! Like the way it looks, but very unlikely to be stable.

[Anne Repnow]

Now wouldn't that be sensational if it was stable! Following the tradition you could call it 'Pende' 

[Anne Repnow]

G. ro-ro 'Fotini' was late this year but is now still going strong

Haha yeah, or fivesome after Joe Sharman’s cultivar, will keep my eyes on it next year.

Fotini looks great, 3 scapes even. The best roro so far IMHO.

"He's making a list
He's checking it twice"
He would be better off checking the calendar,  as usual Santa Claus flowers before Remember Remember here. A little later this year than usual for me but still well before Christmas!

Next Else Grollenberg, a green tipped drop, originally from the Dordogne. Clumping well for me and always early flowering.

[Maggi Young]

Clever of you to show us  'Santa Claus' without actually mentioning Christmas, Ingrid. 
Someone used that word in company the other day and I had to  administer hot, sweet tea to the  swooning  victim!   Some folks find it very hard to  contemplate  the  rapid  arrival of that time of year, though I imagine anyone who has been in a garden centre within the last two months must have got the general idea!

[Harald-Alex.]

After the Galanthus reg-olgae I fond today in open grounds under fallen leafs the first common Galanthus nivalis, which is very early!I think, it will be a good saison with thousands of snowdropflowers!

[Anne Repnow]

How unusual, Alex!
Lets hope for a good season. In my region it was too dry in spring, so bulbs may not have multiplied well.

-2 N Wales today. Snowdrops are coming up earlier than usual but those in flower lasting well. So many out but these are Blue Octopus, Hollis and Magda.

[Anne Repnow]

Magda looks particularly lovely with the long pedicel. I've never seen it before. Is it a reginae-olgae?
Here G. elwesii 'Hoggets Narrow' has been in bloom for a couple of weeks now.

[Susan W]

Hello Anne. Yes it is a reginae-olgae bought from Joe last year, it does look like a good one.

[Anne Repnow]

Good to know, thank you, Susan
