John,

Love the calocacias. Mine have been allowed to dry off and have been cut down.

Looking forward to seeing more of you in coming months. Paddy

Sunny weather, 17°C, not really November. But time for more and more snowdrops. Every day it will be some more. Also the first G.e.m. bloom.(Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus)

G.e.m. Novemberblüher has no notch. Is this normal?

Paddy, Mark.
4 years ago I bought 500 G. elwesii. A few are very early and all these autumnflowering G.e`s are G.e.m. I cant find truly differences to the Hiemalis-group. But one has a very big apical mark.

 Ref:  G.p, klein141

Hagen, does this mean Galanthus peshmenii ? I have edited  your post to include the names of the pohots so the search engine can  find them, but I was not sure of this meaning?
Thanks for the G.E.M. meaning!

All very nice Hagen but I particularly like the G. peshmenii. Rather worryingly your abbreviations were not a problem, I guess there is no going back!

It was a sunny day, 23ºC - perfect conditions to make pictures of a few Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus . :)
