Ashley, our snowdrop season is longer indeed this year.
They flowered nicely almost all March and are still flowering well, though the earliest are going over. April is usually our snowdrop month.
This cold period now will last for a week, I hope everything is fine after that. Temperatures have been up and down all this winter with warmer and cold periods
Mariette, I was wondering the same myself. How of about 30 seedlings in two years I have gotten now two doubles, and not all seedlings have yet flowered. It must be that 'Flore Pleno' was right next to fertile plicatus, and that weather in those years was also favourable for pollinators. I was thinking that I must move some more 'Flore Pleno' to also other beds where there are fertile snowdrops. Though sometimes single flowers are prettier than doubles, singles are more elegant somehow, but in our colder weather the good thing about doubles is that they look better also in bad weather with round flowers.
Is 'Lady Elphinstone' as fertile (in pollen) as 'Flore Pleno'? And has it been used for crossing?
