Galanthus krasnovii

[ArneM]

Hi all!

I would like to do a swap with an Estonian friend. He is very interested in Galanthus krasnovii and wants to swap it for G. platyphyllus as he grows it very well at his nursery/garden. The problem is that I do not cultivate krasnovii. Therefore I am searching for one bulb of krasnovii. Perhaps some of think that it is not the true platyphyllus but as you can see in his photo or on his homepage (am I allowed to post the link here?) it is.
You would get the platyphyllus, so it is more your swap than mine. 

I hope this exchange doesn't sound too dubios. 

Best regards,
Arne

Arne, yes, you may post the webpage of your friend here 

[ArneM]

He mainly sells bulbs like Janis Ruksans (they know each other). Therefore I wasn't sure whether I am allowed to do that.

Maggi, please take out the picture promptly. It is very ... - old I want to say. (Why is there no smiley for spewing?) 

[David Nicholson]

Arne, when you are old you will really want to look young!

[Maggi Young]

Well, Arne, I see you have taken it away now... but I was so sorry to look all thtime athe little box with the red cross in it because your own avatar would not display, so I finally thought... I will look for a picture and all will enjoy it    Sorry!

[ArneM]

Sorry, Maggi. I've done it on my own. 

I will upload a better one.

[ArneM]

I think this picture is better.

[ArneM]

Thanks, Maggi.

I see you are 16. You must be the youngest forum member

Arne - I may have a spare bulb of krasnovii - send me a PM if you are still looking for one.

Hi Chris!

Can I hope in future to swap with you 1 bulb of Galanthus krasnovii too? I have no a big snowdrop collection and I can share with you only true Galanthus angustifolius G. Koss from locus classicus - Dubrava mntn. near Piatigorsk, Nothern Caucasus. Or I have too true Galanthus bortkewitschianus G. Koss from locus classicus - Kamenka river - to swap..... And last spring I find in Crimea very interesting form of Galanthus plicatus M. Bieb. with very long flower pedicels.

Dimitri.
