Accidentally there had been made a repeat of this topic, which I removed! This one was posted first!

Dear all Galanthophile friends,

There is an arboretum not far from Budapest, and there is a large field of a few species (and maybe cultivars) of Galanthus.
These have been planted long ago, at the end of 19th century, and since then nobody had disturbed them. We were last year in February to see, and these pix have been lying since then and waiting for identifying. In Hungary I don't know any galanthophiles to ask. Maybe you can help...
I put the pix in following posts.

What a fantastic place Katherine.

Most of the first ones appear to be Galanthus plicatus from the leaves. The ones with the large upper and small lower green marks on the inner petals (7894) look like gracilis or elwesii. I like the yellow plicatus (pic 7897).

Hello Katherine , fantastic flower and plants. I have seen Galanthus elwesii (7894), elwesii or gracilis (7811), plicatus (7897,7789, 7827, 7889). Because it`s an old population you can find a lot of hybrides between the species. And you can find wonderful marked flowers. Thank you for sharing this pleasure.

It looks like there are definiately two species planted - elwesii and plicatus

Are the last ones 7897, 7902 and 7905 in a garden or a wood? If they are in the wild I would life them, twinscale them and start bulking them. It would be interesting to see the inner mark of the yellow plicatus.

Hagen and Mark, what do you think 7902 and 7905 are?

mark smyth · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2009, 02:05:11 PM »

7902 - something I want

7905 - a double with no aberrant outers in the middle. I'd like to see the inside

Hagen Engelmann · « **Reply #13 on:** February 13, 2009, 02:09:03 PM »

Katherine, Antony, 7902 may be G. nivalis but with other blood in. A pure G nivalis with more than only a apical mark is very seldom. And the bloodgiver stand side by side.
Oh Katherine, now some of us will have sleepless nights
