It must be a nice place, this Ivy Cottage, with so many snowdrops of interest!

Funnily enough I was there last week buying Ivy Cottage Greentips No 10 among other things and I know another forumist was there before me!

maggi is hint of cream a actual cultivar? i see the creamy area just below the ovary all the time in various snowdrops...sometimes as a pinkish glow.

My cream nivalis is definitely cream, if not pale yellow. Shame it's so small. Couldn't get a photo today as someone took the camera away for the day. Will try tomorrow. It's not opening up much, but at least I can show the colour (if the camera stays at home!)

Shot just received from a friend in BC who collected these green tipped nivalis (not a nivalis - corrected) last year outside a local restaurant (with permission).

Those aren't just green-tipped, the green mark on the inners is visible at the base whereas a normal nivalis only has a small mark at the tip of the inners.

And I have been told that 'Ivy Cottage No.2' (the one you posted photographs of) is now called 'Ivy Cottage Corporal' (because of the two 'stripes' on the inners).

Hi John

I think that 'green tipped dancer' is a lovely looking thing.   ;D

Cheers

Very nice Paddy  - when you say "a few from the garden today" I do hope you mean yesterday!  It is still dark here  ;)  

I have not seen my garden in daylight for ages - fingers crossed I may get a chance to have a look this afternoon, as i am working from home today, and get some pictures if it is sunny.

Cheers

OK John, I have just spotted your comment and had noticed that you were online at this early hour of the morning. Yes, it is just six in the morning here and the photographs were taken yesterday afternoon. Just not sleeping, having a snack, watching night-time news on the television and posting these photographs.
