Galanthus in February 2019
« on: February 01, 2019, 12:42:13 PM »
Woke up expecting snow, not a sausage! Instead a small period of sunshine and what a display of Anne Wright's drops!

First Dryad Gold Sovereign, bulking like crazy, this is a beautiful snowdrop and a real eye-catcher.  Already, developing more clumps.

632902-0

Dryad Gold Ribbon, again bulking well in the garden.

632904-1

Dryad Gold Bullion, a lovely yellow, which like Dryad Gold Sovereign has made additional pots in the Swaps & Spares Bunker.

632906-2

Dryad Clone 7, a pretty clone, I am testing for Anne in the Sub-Tropics of East Anglia!

Nothing special here but just nivalis en masse at Fullarton woods in Troon.  A rather attractive fungus also.
Something new has happened to posting pictures since I last used it.

Thank you, Hagen, couldn't go far wrong there, could I? Though my own awards would go to a slightly different selection of cultivars :-)

Ian Christie's G. plicatus 'Castle Select' is multiplying really well

Great result for the Scottish Rugby Team yesterday and their supporters performing well in the garden this morning!

First up, Golden Promise a stunning yellow from Ian Christie! Lovely shape and colour and one of my 'Great Eight' yellows.

633049-0

Second Bentley Green Tips, named by Ian after his favourite car manufacturer.

633051-1

Finally Swan Lake a delightful Scottish poculiform with lovely clear lines.

633053-2

The range of Scottish drops is amazing.

I bought this one last year as Galanthus 'Jennifer Hewitt' but seeing it flowering for the first time I'm not sure it is. It doesn't seem to me to conform to the markings shown in Freda Cox's book. Any views?
