A weird snowdrop in my garden 



Looks like "Maleficent"

G. elwesii (var. elwesii) can produce a huge range of different markings on its inner petals and sometimes you will find one which is cute or amusing.  Very occasionally such snowdrops  were named, G. elwesii 'Grumpy' (named in 1990) is an example.  Galanthus plicatus var. byzantinus (or hybrids thereof) can do the same thing but I don't encounter those so frequently.  You can see quite a few in the garden of Myddleton House.  These days the ones that get named seem to be those with the two marks in different shades of green.

Thanks for your comment, Alan.
I just want to show the difference of the petal flower. It is fresh and just blossomed and the petal flowers are wrinkled and curled inwards .... on that photo which  you can see how different they are and they have blossomed at the same time.

Carsten, you have such sunny snowdrops.

Here are some of mine from today. They are slowly starting to flower, most are still only coming up.
These are very common ones.

As yours show, Mrs Macnamara and 'Atkinsii' are popular for good reason.

A rather nice Lemongrass seedling, paler yellow.

Galanthus 'Lady Beatrix Stanley' has a double flower.  I do not think it has a green-striped flower like the one shown above by Stefan.

Sorry, it's my fault ... this is Galanthus 'Rosemary Burnham'

[Véronique Macrelle]

Galanthus vernalis, slightly different and spontaneous, found in a large group.

Isn't is it just! But I'm happy this winter is different now, and it will be a long spring this year.
Everything advances slowly and stays in flower for a long time (unless they get damaged by cold nights - snowdrops don't usually).

Ingrid, how lovely yellow Lemongrass seedling and I also like Veroniques G.vernalis!
