Galanthus platyphyllus hasn't been doing well recently. I think the warm dry springs we've been having do not suit it. Only one flower from 7 bulbs this year.
I asked Dima, who said ..... "Hi Maggi, it means a natural hybrid with possible parentage of koenenianus (male) x woronowii (female) " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_DNAhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/nuclear-dnahttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/chloroplast-dnahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroplast_DNA
They say it likes to be under snow in winter then very wet as the snow melts. Can you give it those conditions? I saw some that had been washed down from higher up and were growing near the side of a river; they must get submerged from time to time.
Can anyone identify this snowdrop. It appeared where I used to grow Erway which I lost. I don't remember planting any other snowdrops in the same area. Could it be a seedling from Erway. It flowers from early March onwards.
