Blond Inge      [for having yellow inners and a green ovary]
Galanthus peshmanii   [for being reliable in the autumn]
Galatea         [for being bold, reliable and clumping up]
Greenish                   [for being virescent, alive and late]
Hill Poe         [to represent all the doubles – regular and substantial]
John Gray      [was my first ‘special’ and clumps up well]
South Hayes      [for being the only one my Mother can see ‘isn’t just another white one’]
Wendy’s Gold      [the best and most robust yellow I have]
Walrus         [for being unique!]
Wasp         [for elegance of form]

Funny, I dislike Blond(e) Inge for just the same reason.

I've yet to see her looking anything other than plain and mousey.

 ;D Precisely the collection I have been trying to get together - ones that my mum (or a lot of other people for that matter  ::)) can actually see the difference.  ;D

I have had mine for two years and yet to see any sign of yellow and a very poor grower too.
Wished I would have kept the Lyzzick I exchanged for them.

Re 'Blonde Inge': I had felt very disappointed with this snowdrop for the past few years; was asked by a friend for some bulbs earlier this year and passed them on with the reservation that it was hardly worth having. However, I feel it has progressed well in the garden and I like it again. Previously, I had thought the inner segments were poorly coloured, not particularly different, but this year I feel they are quite nice.

Chad,

That photograph shows it at its best, well illustrated! And, at that it is a nice snowdrop.
