someone told me today he bought galanthus 'Abbott' and elwesii 'Vivaldi'.
from a retired nurseryman.
I never heard of those and can`t find them in the book.
Does anyone know these two guys?or could the man have named those himself?

One just coming into bloom is G. nivalis 'Appleby', a tiny thing. Paddy mentioned he had not heard of it before and indeed it is not in the Monograph either. Can anyone tell me something of its history? The source was Potterton & Martin 3/96.

Mark - This one is not a spikey and it is pretty small and not open yet but close. Found it in an old P&M catalogue and at this site
http://www.galanthus-online.de/seiten/kultivare-a-d/applybay.html
I see there is also an Appleby 1 but have found no description yet.

Hi, John, the photo on that site, to which a number of Forumists have contributed, is by Hagen Engelmann, so PMs to him and to Rob Potterton should get you some info, if those two are not reading this.....

Superb gracilis, Tony. Love the contrast between the very dark green marks and the paler ovary.

Tony, How great to have grown them on from seed. Like John, I am very taken by the G. elwesii, your first photograph. There is an odd kind of turn out on the inner petals, very pleasing. You remind me that my very first different snowdrop, in other words it wasn't G. nivalis, was G. caucasicus grown from seed from the Irish Garden Plant Society seed exchange and because I grew it from seed it is one I really treasure and look forward to each year. This has since bulked up well and I have a few good patches around the garden.
Your snowdrops are also in excellent condition, pot and glasshouse/under cover cultivation I imagine. They are a stark contrast to my poor mud-splattered ones in the garden. But then, I would kill them if I attempted to grow them in pots.
Good show, Paddy

Paddy you are correct they are all in pots in a frame.
I did some tyding up in the garden today and there are loose labels everywhere,blackbirds!! If I put them in the garden their origin would be lost in days
