A weird snowdrop in my garden
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.
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.
Astonishing to see Finnish snowdrops in February Leena
