Galanthus in January 2019

[Maggi Young]

Swapped them round for you, David!

Many thanks Maggi, complete mix-up on my part.

This one is going strong for two weeks now,  it doesn t mind the weather, it just keeps steady and stable.  While the other Galanthus elwesii bulbs seem to have stop their development, the leaves ceased sprouting from the ground.  Flower is down sometimes due to overnight and morning frost which we have had for the last couple of weeks. Galanthus nivalis from last year are now starting to emerge from ground, which makes me happy too, they are alive, let's see if they flower.

A definite theme in today's morning patrol and what a joy, two from Melvyn Jope!

First up, Melvyn's Orange, the first 'orange' drop I have seen that is actually...orange! No need for special lighting, orange filters or the wrapper from Quality Street’s Orange Creme, this drop is orange.







A lovely orange colour to the inner and very visible. The drop is increasing well for me with an offset already in evidence. Like all Melvyn' drops this is a stunner.

Next, an unnamed Caucasicus, again from Melvyn, this has a lovely inner marking and looks amazing as a potful in the sunshine.



The usual excellent quality bulbs from Melvyn!

Welcome back, Hagen, I've missed you here.

THE MORE THE MERRIER, Alan ...

My sentiments exactly, Hagen.

If it works, I have just updated my website gallery with up to date images of Galanthus and Narcissus cultivars and species. I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone. Find it here:

Excellent photos, Anne - and clear in the thumbnails  as well as  when clicked to enlarge  to full size.

Definite yellow theme to this morning's patrol in bright sunshine.

First Ronald Mackenzie, bulking beautifully!

Next Ecusson d'Or' (Simon Savage variation) again increasing well in a pot.

Next, Belvedere Gold, a beautifully shaped and coloured variety.

Next Sarah Dumont, another strong snowdrop which increases rapidly for me. This is one from my swaps and spares bunker.

Finally Grakes Gold, this appears to be quite a weak drop in my experience. Maybe it's the heat of tropical East Anglia.

Lovely! Sun to spare!
