Galanthus to mid February 2007

yes slugs do damage bulbs but I think that hole was caused by damage and/or rot

Hello Andy! A member for a month now yet nothing said

I have replanted the bulb after it underwent major surgery and it does have a shoot but unfortunately there were no signs of root so not a lot of hope. Still I have 3 healthy bits and this hopefully will eventually form a clump. Thats gardening (and pilgrims progress)

Wim thanks for the comment. I think I'll stick with elwesii

So I'm a great friendly Galanthophile

See, turn your back for two seconds and these gallumphing galanthophiles are sneaking in ! M

Back to South Hayes, I discovered I had some before and after pictures myself.  These are of the Foxgrove Nurseries display of Galanthus South Hayes in 2003 and 2007.  Apologies that my camera tends to focus on the background but I think you can still see the difference and it does seem to be losing its markings, as Mark suggested.  Can twin-scaling really have a bad effect like this or have they simply made a mistake by propagating from an inferior specimen whilst selling the good ones?

  Hi Mark.
If the last one is not plicatus so It is a foreign sipecies for my region but another regions have that by name elwesii with wery large and short leaves.
 I think this plants like very much my area. It is very easy to see them under the woods.
This region there are four sipecies known in the wild.
Galanthus gracilis
Galanthus nivalis ssp. nivalis
Galanthus nivalis ssp. cilicicus
Galanthus plicatus ssp. byzantinus
I had some nice samples. I would like to know correct name. If you can give some hints..
Thank you in advance...
Here are some photos without name..
