 Thanks Mark,now that I remember it was double last year and I did not re-pot,somebody is playing tricks on me. I think I will stick with with the Crocus, at least they are different colours. I have removed the impostor. :) :)

another of my Galanthus elwesii / gracilis . This always produces two scapes from each bulb with one large and one small flower on them.

Lovely Thomas, could you possibly take a picture of the inside of 'North Star' as I have lost a label and want to confirm which it is.
Brian, here are two pictures of 'North Star'. Sorry, they are not good. Though the snow melted away, it is cold and temperature below freezing point here. And something has taken some bits of my only flower ...
Note the applanate vernation.

Thank you Thomas, it means I can check mine when it is fully open.  I hope it will last as a pheasant (?) has kindly taken the flowers of Edinburgh Ketton!

I bought one of Rannveig's hybrids - here it is:

Galanthus koenenianus x fosteri

I also "invested" in one last week on the basis of the display plant which was very elegant - small but beautifully marked as they say  ::)

another of my Galanthus elwesii / gracilis . This always produces two scapes from each bulb with one large and one small flower on them.

You have done it again Tony lovely elegant plant and flowers  8) I  appreciate the species more and more

Yes, he is looking a bit off-colour...

 I think it is the reflection from all his beautiful yellow crocus...... ;D
