Oron

lovely pictures, they must have shot up into growth after I left. Did you get to see the Crocus nerimaniae?

Oh Hans, drops with stripes and a lot of green inside. Proud flowers. Very fine cultivars for the autumn season.

Thanks Hagen - I agree, I like them very much - I could grow much more of them - but unfortunately I just have just two of each.... :-\

Yes they are super Hans, but before too long you will have more than two, that is one of the good things about snowdrops :D

Hey Hans,

Stunning species, I must say you are courageous, having two of each and plant them out in the garden ???
When i have so few plants of a rare species i grow it in a pot and if i could i would take them every where with me.... ;)

You are right - i have heard some would swap their grandmother for a rare galanthus.  :o ::) ;)
But nevermind, they are very well protected and as a surplus I have very curious neighbours who note every movement in the neighbourhood.... 8) ;D

...and that is how we should treat our grandmothers (and snowdrops too of course  ;) )

when I build my new raised beds all bulbs other than Crocus will be in the ground no matter how many I have. The Crocus will remain in pots

Tony, Oron -where were you? When I was there, I saw only Galanthus but no Galanthophile.

Hagen

it is good they were in flower for you. It is always a compromise on dates and I have been four times ,always late October and seen them on three, so not too bad.It seems to have rained after I left this year because Oron has also found them in flower and I have been back three weeks. Did you find the ones with the green bits on the puter petals that I showed on an earlier posting?

Tony, I found the ones but I also found the others and all will enjoy you on your next trip to Turkey because there is their homeland. Did you have seen the pure whites???
