Wolfgang, have you names for all your galanthus? Many people, like me, do not recognise them and the names would be helpful ?

Beautiful doubles Mark, especially the stripey side of Richard Ayres. I've not seen it in the flesh, is it a tall one ?
Is that the colour of the sky with you today ?   :)

Quite tall Jo. Ivy Cottage had some on Monday so may have them at the Gala. The best double I have it 'Ailwyn'.

Toni, if the form is constant it`s a fine cultivar. I believe Ruby Baker found such  a bi-tepal-galanthus too.
Please tell me: why birds eye and not snails eye? ;D

Chubby drops Mark, look good.
