I agree, very nice. A sort of refined version. 8)

Steve, I remember you told me that "Mothering Sunday" was one you named yourself and it's certainly a fine picture of a snowdrop.  Does anyone else have this one or is it confined to your collection?

I hope Eileen makes a swift recovery and you can amaze her with your mastery of the washing machine when she gets home!
Alan
Thanks to you and Maggi and others for the good wishes for Eileen. Recovering from pneumonia will take some time, but she's on the mend.

Mothering Sunday was the result of one of my annual crawls on hands and knees around the Avon Bulbs orchard. Alan Street has it, plus my daughters and a snowdrop friend. Hopefully it will clump up so that I can send it round a bit and so ensure its survival.

Meanwhile some more pics of plants flowering currently.

Jings. Some interesting ones there. I like that woronowii 'Cider with Rosie', and 'Green Arrow' is nice too. 8)

Yes. The other flower, alas, aborted.

Steve - I don't think I have ever seen 3 Ecusson d'or flowers in the same place at the same time!  8)

I thought I was having multiple vision due to having a couple of beers last night? ;) I ordered one from Monksilver but I guess they were oversubscribed?

Galanthus koenenianus - found by Manfred Koenen is flowering

Gerd

 edit by M from Gerd's further comment: Galanthus koenenianus is the only snowdrop with a distinctly furrowed abaxial leaf surface.

Gerd, I have found that species rather difficult to come by. I think it will be a long time before anyone has enough to have any spare? What is the significance of the second pic?

Lat year it was a first-time smallish single bulb, so I was well chuffed when these three nice flowers appeared. I shall be even more chuffed if it keeps up that rate of increase.
