I took this last year and was going to post it but never had time. I wonder if it will do it again this year. Galanthus Blonde Inge.

Hello Jane,
here is my BLONDE INGE with the same defect of apical color....

Unless I am mistaken, it is actually a mirror image of the same defect.  Does anyone else remember that classic Star Trek episode ("Let that be your last battlefield") that sought to pour scorn on colour prejudice by having to combatants who were mirror images of each other?  The picture here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_Battlefield will show you what I mean.

Something nice about your plant Hagen and similar to Puck.

John did you find yours in the wild?

Comparing my snowdrops that are out now to this time last year I had 33 out in January 2009

It was in the grounds of a monastory in Hampshire Mark.  I was given permission to dig it up for a small donation to the Monks.   8)

Hello Hagen,
interesting to see that one of yours has done the same thing. The snow has finally gone so I shall nip out later and see what's going on out there!

I have a £20-er that turned into a 20p-er when it flowered.  It's okay now. Alas no picture.
