Galanthus platyphyllus ex Russia
« on: March 13, 2009, 12:50:57 PM »
Hi all ,

I have taken today some pics of my Gal. platyphyllus ex Russia ( thanks a nice person ;)
This plants are really a big surprise for me - they have start with flowering on beginning of March ....and so I dont believe it is a true G. platyphyllus ....I was always thinking it is a G.woronowii  :-\
I grow some other G. platyphyllus from Georgia ( from two different locations )since some years in my garden -and this plants are really difficould for cultivation .The reason is they emerge always very late
( in this time are only some noses visibly - but later is it here to warm for this plants and they suffer ...
Last year I saw the first flowers on middle of April ...and the snails like it to much ....
For all this reasons is in my eyes those G.platyphyllus much easier in cultivation -I have made nothing special with it - they grow in lattice pots together with my other new plants .

I'm really very glad with this plants  :D

Enjoy
Hans

Nice plants Hans.  So do you still think they are woronowii, despite the apparent lack of a notch in the inner tepal?

I'm a bit surprised about the leaves -they are not so very broad - my krasnovii have much more broad leaves .

Lovely elongated look to the petals, and great texture to the leaves.  Very nice!!

Okga,

Looks like quite a bit of variability in there.  Looks like a nice species!!

Did you have to travel far Olga? I'm hoping mine set seed, but they must surely be from one clone so not the best source of pollen?
