The leaf looks healthy.  Promise to post the yellow flower

Mark, I haven't seen Compton Court. Would you say it's not different enough from Arnott to be worth trying? I'd heard it was very vigorous. Can you confirm?

[Diane Whitehead]

Wolfgang's picture 3,  DSCN0510.JPG, looks unusual to me,
but no one has mentioned it.

It looks as though it has anther tissue around the edge of
the inner petals.

I have seen this on semi-double primula and trillium.

This one looks as though it might be a yellow one, or is it just
being sickly?

Now that would be another interesting find - fingers crossed it is a yellow Elwesii rather than an aborted flower.

Like Arthur says - please do show us a photograph if when the flower opens (think positive thoughts, think positive thoughts...).

Regards

John

Martin, 'Compton Court' is vigorous and to my eye the same. I must plant some side by side for comparison. Alan Street is trialing it. I'll phone him later.

Tony - I have just remembered that I forgot to ask earlier... are there just 2 inners or 3 inners on your 2 outer petal flowers?

Kind regards

John

Been and had a look,both flowers have only two inners and two outers ,all the rest of their bits look normal.

Thanks Tony.

Any chance of an 'ants eye view'?

Cheers

At last! I was waiting for one of you to comment on this... it's from page one of this thread, I'll post Wolfgang's photo again here....

[mark smyth]

I did see it and chose not to comment but it is unusual. I have never seen it before

[Anthony Darby]

I don't see that view of enough snowdrops to be aware that this was unusual?

Two years ago I managed to give away all four of my twin scaped 'Magnets', so last year the clumps produced none. Today these 'Magnet' twins peek through the snow by the front door step, in front of my passiflora.
