They look like soldiers waving swords in the air, great clump Hagen.  Welcome to the forum zwerggarten, you will enjoy our little family.

Viridapice is one of the most vigorous snowdrops I have in my garden. I have to divide the clumps every two years as they become too dense.

anthony, do they vary or do you grow a uniform clone?

Friends, the big clump is Galanthus nivalis Sharlockii. You can`t see any seedling around. So the clump is "clear and clean". In the garden I have several clones of Scharlockii. But I must say, this best clump isn`t in my own garden. Yes, it`s a pity.

If Sharlockii had been discovered today it would surely sell for £150 a bulb but because it has been around a long time, a lot of the snowdrop collectors in the UK don't even bother with it!

Quite variable, although I suspect this is environmental or perhaps the age of individual offsets?

Have had this Greatorex Double in the garden for several years without a label.
I wonder if anyone can identify it for me please.

greetings from berlin - where all drops are still covered with tons of snow!
