Galanthus in the Southern Hemisphere July 2024

This winter has been a bit colder than usual but the snowdrops seem to have appreciated it.
Here are some of the Galanthus elwesii types in the garden with one single green blotch,

We have some Galanthus elwesii under deciduous trees where they have started to self-seed with some seedlings with single green blotches and some split in two,

This colony of Galanthus elwesii have both single and split green blotches.
It self seeded from higher up in the rock garden and survives in full sun without any overhead shade

This is a different snowdrops with leaves wrapped around each other - is it Galanthus plicatus?

Hi Fermi
Are the bleaves pleated?

[ashley]

Not plicatus Fermi, which should have leaf-margins folded back (plicate).
This one looks like an elwesii to me.

[Jeffnz]

Pleated: the leaf surface is folded longitudinally in pleats (plicate). Roughened ridges: the leaf surface is irregularly raised into roughened ridges. Grooved/furrowed/chanelled: the leaf surface has obvious grooves or channels, usually running longitudinally (sulcate).

Thanks, Ashley and Jeff,
I've found the G.plicatus elsewhere!

I think this is Galanthus 'Ophelia'.
It's doing better this year - I think I got it more than 10 years ago from Marcus Harvey.
It struggled for many years and about 4 years ago I noticed a bud but it didn't mature, and each year since then it has increased in size and flowers,

I think this tiny thing is Galanthus rizehensis

A little cutie, where did you obtain it?

[fermi de Sousa]

I'm pretty sure it would have been from someone in our local AGS Vic Group - most likely Otto Fauser!

I think this is Galanthus 'Ophelia'.

A subsequent flower shows the green tips I think it should have,

Oops! I have a feeling that what I previously posted as Galanthus rizehensis might actually be G. woronowii and this is actually G. rizehensis!
Can a more experienced Galanthophile confirm or contradict this?
cheers

This snowdrop is possibly Galanthus 'S. Arnott' which I did have in this bed along with 'Magnet',
