So that's where the Big Boys hang out? I've never seen a pic of 'Cowhouse Green'. I've heard it is tricky to grow. Not a patch on the German green ones or 'Green Mile' though.

Anthony,
I got 'Cowhouse Green' 5 years ago, and it is still just one bulb. But it looks good and healthy and produces 2 scapes this year.

Solid green snowdrop with no white at all, in Dublin. But where can I find one?

Schön, daß Du nun hier dabei bist Thomas!!!
I wanted to preserve your anonymity on the Internet, so I haven`t told your name and your gardens name. But now it`s much easier. And you came to us with personal name and avatar. I`m curious for your coming comments and pics ( a few words in German, only for me, would be fine ;))

My first genuine Galanthus platyphyllus (some I bought last year turned out to be woronowii) is pictured here.

I eventually returned the "platyphyllus" I bought at RHS Wisley for a refund, on the basis that it was too early flowering and had a notch on the inner petals.  But it would seem somebody is distributing a snowdrop under the name "platyphyllus" that is either wrongly-named or highly atypical compared to what Anthony has and what is described in The Book.

Anthony,

I know that there are a couple of pictures already on the forum but here's a picture of my Cowhouse Green. It is more subtle than Green Mile but still a lovely flower.

Thank you for the welcome, Maggi. Hagen's pictures initiated that - maybe - I will not just read here but get involved a little bit. Danke, Hagen.  :)
