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

Tony,

I have sent a photo a second ago to the Crocus section, thank you again !!!!

Some photos of G. peshmenii taken two days ago at a site near Kemer, SW Turkey

More great photo's Oron - I particularly liked the second photo.

Seeing these in the wild must be amazing. Thank you for posting them Oron.

Oron, this are great(!) Photos from the plants in their habitat!

This ones flower in the garden actually-

Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus  and  Galanthus cilicicus

[Hagen Engelmann]

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

[Hans A.]

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....

[Brian Ellis]

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

[Oron Peri]

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....

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....

[Hans A.]

Thanks Brian and Oron!

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

...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.

[Tony Willis]

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?

[Hagen Engelmann]

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???
