Mediterranean galanthus

[ArneM]

Hagen, do they grow with you or is that a picture taken in the wild?

[Maggi Young]

Oh, dear.... they're rather sweet, aren't they? 

[Hagen Engelmann]

Oh Maggi, hope your new outfit is only for today. If not Iwill only look to the galanthuspictures. Good that you show us your true colors in the other  topic.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Nahmd Arne, all pictures are taken from plants in the wild. These here also. Other faces of Galanthus peshmenii

[ArneM]

I've never imagined that there's such a variation in wild populations of peshmenii, very interesting, 

Hope we can grow some of them here one day.

[Maggi Young]

Hagen, yes, I think one day will be enough!! It is Mark's fault for asking for a new picture!!


The full form of G. peshmenii Nr. 5 above, is lovely..... I am surprised by the variety......I am so pleased you gentlemen go travelling and then share your photos here, thank you.
Nr 4 will be excitng to the Galanthophiles, I expect.... this is rather yellow, is it not?

[Hagen Engelmann]

Maggi, this year I found a lot of yellows. Sadly no real yellows. The marks went from green to yellow by absence of water. There was no rain for too long time. A lot of flowers only bloomed for a short time and dryed up.

Interesting..... does this mean that many of the "yellow" types in cultivation may only be yellow when they are under stress of some kind? Is this why they are often green when replanted... they have good new soil and other conditons so they return to green?
Opinions, snowdrop growers, please?

[ArneM]

Maggi, you're getting addicted to snowdrops.

I understand that Lady Elphinstone can sulk for a year and flower green, before returning to a lovely yellow/apricot.  Not aware any of the other yellows do this. 

Please please return your normal avatar soonest 

[Maggi Young]

Arne, not addicted.... merely interested!! 

Arthur, I can refuse  you nothing......

[ArneM]

Of course, Maggi.

Great photos Hagen and Tony, wonderful to see them in their habitat.  You are right Maggi, No 4 is certainly very attractive, but I like it for the shape of the flower and the mark , and I love the ones with green on the outside. (and the full ones......)

Did I miss something?  Will there be a repeat performance?

Great pics of the 'drops in the wild.  Loving the little fat one.  Of the ones with green outers - I think I prefer the one with the mark one third of the way up each petal rather than the tips.

We all share our joy for nice small autumn drops. A good moment. Thank you. Here is the "yellow" one, I told Maggi. But also in the green, it has an elegant flower, other then the formers. (It`s not BLONDE INGE )
