Autumn-Season 2008 begins

[Maggi Young]

Hagen and Others.... I have merged the two threads, "time to begin waking up n. regina olgae" and "Autumn-Season 2008 begins"   

[Brian Ellis]

Here is the real opener of the season. I do not want ignore this post of Brian. Sorry so much

No problem Hagen I've just looked for my G.peshmenii and can't see a thing, but the second scape on the Tilebarn Jamie is now beginning to elongate

Thanks for merging us all Maggie, I din't feel a thing

Oh, dear, I must be losing my touch  Mother warned me this would happen

[KentGardener]

WooHoo!  It's started.

Nothing here yet that I am aware of - time to get on my hands and knees.

Hi John, welcome back.

[Brian Ellis]

Indeed John you have been sorely missed

[Paddy Tobin]

Well, John, now we know what tempts you out of your retreat - snowdrops!

Good to have you back.

Hi Rob, the fun is not whose galanthus are the first, it was my  fault/blunder/error. The question is, what blooms this year before winter. My winter every year too long. I short him from both sides.

Yes, Hagen, that is what we are doing too, making winter shorter! That is why narcissus and crocus are so good for us!

[Hagen Engelmann]

Maggi, we begin to dreaming (and waiting)for our snowdrops. I`m glad, to have the same language with a lot of forummembers. You are able to filter unnessesery disharmony (thank you for your still doing). Today I swaped a lot of Crocus banaticus. We have not only our "Galanthusheaven". The world has  much more colors!

[Maggi Young]

  I  do prefer the colours,though, Hagen.... if I was looking forward to white then I could be happy with the snow ... snowdrop white is TOO much like winter!!

[Hans J]

Here now with sun 

for this autumn season my first open :
 
Galanthus regina olgae f. corcyrensis

[art600]

A very nice start to your season.

I have a pot of snowdrops - unknown, but either peshmenii or reginae-olgae - that should be in bloom next week.

[Brian Ellis]

Super Hans, no sign of it yet for me, despite the sun!

Now don't be greedy Brian, you have had the pleasure of 'Tilebarn Jamie' in flower for nearly two weeks 

Not a sign of anything yet in my southerly garden, not even a nose or two sticking through!
