Great  dark green markings  on your  seed  raised  plants, Stefan - I  find  those  appealing - it  really  does  make the  white "pop" !

[Stefan B.]

Maggi, Thank you so much for your comment and I hope you enjoy with them :-)

Interesting quirky one Brian, not seen it before.

Am I wrong or is that a yellow G. nivalis var. scharlockii?

No and Yes!  It is 'Ecusson d'Or' - normal the first year but here we are seven years later and it seems fairly stable (having said that now I expect it will go back to normal next year) so I give it the nickname 'Golden Eagle' to distinguish it from my clump of 'Ecusson d'Or' from another supplier elsewhere in the .

[David Lowndes]

One of my Ecusson d’Or thinks it’s a scharlockii.  I’ve been puzzling over it!

[Mariette]

That´s very interesting, indeed, Brian! I´ve seen a lot of G.n. var. scharlockii growing wild, but never a yellow one. One year, in a clump of ´Jaquenetta´ growing close to a lot of G.n. var. sch., I noticed one ´Jaquenetta´with donkey´s ears and planted it seperately. Of course, it looked quite the usual ´Jaquenetta´again next year. It would be great if You grow the first yellow G.n.sch. ever!

It would be interesting if You´d compare Your supplier! Maybe something changed due to twin-scaling?

Galanthus 'Magnet'


Galanthus elwesii 'Godfrey Owen'

[Mariette]

Very attractive varieties, Stefan!

In my garden, species have got a firm place, too . This clone of Galanthus rizehensis clumps well and self-seeds generously.
