I found some better pictures on my other pc.
Plant is just out of flower so no inner pictures and
of course I am happy it is a beauty.
I grow some botanical bulbs many of them of wild origin
from seed like Crocus , Cyclamen , Polygonatum , Corydalis
and , and , and .................................
many of them for shady places

Got this Snowdrop many years ago from a Czech Rockgarden friend as Galanthus spec.
collected from Caucasus. The plants grow rather slow and are not very floriferous.
Can anybody of the expert maybe identify it?

The second one does look like woronowii.

As for the first one, did you buy Tubby Merlin at some point?
