For those who want to see yellow snowdrops "live"  :o I can recommend a visit during open days to the
"Oirlicher Schneeglöckchentage Feb. 27/28th., 2010" in Nettetal (Germany).

http://www.oirlicher-blumengarten.de/seiten/offene-tuer/offene-tuer.html

Certainly many Forum members will show up there again.  ;)

Cheers!
Best wishes

Roll call in a cold garden this morning shows almost exactly 80% of snowdrop varieties are now showing - may be slightly higher if as suspected I have lost the odd bulb or so.

The combination of yellow ovary and glossy rich green leaves is lovely - one to watch out for.

Could it be that there is only one clump of this snowdrop in existence?

I certainly hope it has been spread around - the stories of snowdrop
thefts are worrisome.
