Now I have also a pic of a flowering G. cilicicus from my collection - we have now today the 23. Dec. so I have decide me for this topic .
The flower is open now around 14 days - but we had no sun to take pics .
I'm really glad that this plant now grows and flowers because I had always problems with it - material that I have received ealier is always died after some time outside -this plant is for me not possibly to grow outside !
I keep it now in my greenhouse together with some other tender Galanthus .

Here is my

Galanthus cilicicus RN 17/87

enjoy

A good friend gave 2 bulbs of 'Three Ships' this year.  They have both bloomed this week.  Pictures to follow when the weather improves.

People who also collect Crocus will remember the Crocus mathewii and Crocus banaticus bought from Tilebarn Nursery at very good prices.  I noticed he had Galanthus elwesii 'Yvonne Hay' for sale at £6 - yes £6 NOT the £30 charged by Colebourne.  And she is beautiful - picture to follow when weather improves.

Hans,

Well done with the G. cilicius. It was worth persevering.

I see it's cilicus time. Mine has been flowering since one month I think and still not over. Due to the bad weather during last weeks it is for the first time more or less opened  :D .

Fine pics, Hans + Arne. G cilicicus creates also such a lot different differences by the green flower marks. I had never thought it and never seen it. Now the forum shows me the whole spectrum. I thought Gc is only a normal autumn Gn Wrong minds.
Euch einen segensreichen Heiligen Abend.

Because so many German Forummembers forwarded Galanthus pics I really won't be left behind  ;D ;D ;D

This is Galanthus transcaucasicus - opening after kept inside (took only 5 minutes).

On this occasion all the best for Christmas Eve!

Lovely Christmas 'drops, everyone.

 I love the fat skirts of Hagen's "big balloons" are super.
I'm glad you see the rain as a blessing, Hagen... I'm not so sure, in December ?!! ::)

A run of lovely snowdrops above.

G. 'Three Ships' is certainly a plump flower.
