Fantastic
A styled garden seems like a reformatory for nature

Tim, snowdrops with yellow receptacles are my favourites - it will be interesting to learn of Your results!

Also, I tend to fall for elegant shapes, this is ´Mary Ann Gibbs´.



A seedling of ´Daglingworth´, growing well in my garden.



A ´Trymlet´- seedling, growing better than its mother for me.



´Pale ´Face´with its slender receptacle is new in my garden.



It´s good that nowadays there is more variation in the yellows, this is ´Golden Tears´, with ´Primrose Warburg´to the right.

Mariette, your snowdrop pictures are wonderful and it gives me hope that spring will come here too (in a month or two).
I love it how you have seedlings growing in your garden, and with new yellow snowdrops you have such a wide genepool.
'Golden Tears' is so nice. How would you compare it to 'Golden Fleece' in size?
Yellow snowdrops are little suns in the garden. :)
And I love your seedling of 'Danglingworth'.

Yes, the sunny effect of yellow snowdrops is very important, especially at times when the weather is dull.

It´s difficult to compare ´Golden Fleece´and ´Golden Tears´. Regarding size, I think, there isn´t much difference. The flowers of the latter are more compact, whereas the former is more elegant in shape.

Reading the delightful book of Anne Repnow, I came to like ´Cider with Rosie´. Now in my garden, the impression is much the same. I´d wish there would be more books like this!

Not all snowdrops are garden-worthy.  Here is a huge clump that rarely manages to flower but must have built itself up by division

Luc, how nice clumps of snowdrops in your garden. 'Clare Blakeway-Philips' is so floriferous and 'Sophie North' very cute. Here 'Sophie North' has been a very slow increaser, not at all so big as yours. You must have just what it likes. :)

Anne, 'Kudrus' does look really nice, it is no wonder it is your favourite.

Alan, really big clump of just leaves. ??? Is it just that it increases too fast and bulbs become too small to flower..

The clump produces flowers which would be doubles if they managed to open but the vast majority don't manage it.  I've been noticing this clump for 18 years now and it has always been big and non-flowering.  Maybe it is too congested or under-fertilised?  It always has leaves in abundance and the odd flower.

Alan, that is strange, and not good. :(
I have noticed that when clumps become congested, the bulbs come close to surface and some are "spit" out from ground. Maybe this is their way to ensure that there is enough room for bulbs which are left.

Its also quite a good way for a snowdrop to propagate itself.  The bulbs that are "spat out" get blown or washed away to somewhere else where they may be able to take root and eventually form a new clump.
