Yes, they are not only similar, they are our plants.

[Maggi Young]

Owe, I recall you had thought that the galanthus might be one of Severin Schlyter's  selection? But the name Mauerbach is a place in Austria..... perhaps we need an Austrian or  German Galanthophile to help out

Very nice pic of MAUERBACH, Owe J.

In the 60s GREENISH was found in Mauerbach in Austria. I would think only two names for one good cultivar!!!

but No

I have a Galanthus I need to identify and went to the link of Mark's wonderful collection, however short of checking every name I don't think I can find it.  It's a pity all the  pictures aren't just there ready for impatient people like me, but I imagine that would be a huge job. Anyway I am posting a not too good picture in the hopes all you Galanthophiles can help me.  Have I ladled the praise high enough do you think

What about Galanthus nivalis 'Viridapice' ?

[Martin Baxendale]

The large leafy spathe would suggest Gal. nivalis 'Warei' rather than 'Viridapice', which has a smaller spathe. Try this link to Judy's Snowdrops website for pics. Note that the spathe may split into two 'ears' or may not.

Thanks to both Thomas and Martin, G. nivalis viridapice rings a bell, we bought it at Brodsworth once when we visited, however our blackbirds delight in chucking out labels as they forage round the garden and this one had disappeared.

[Martin Baxendale]

Warei and Viridapice are a bit mixed up in gardens and the trade, since there are various clones of each around and they vary in their characteristics, some "Viridapice" having quite large spathes and some "Warei" smaller spathes than others. You may well have bought Warei as Viridapice. Deciding which you have can be quite difficult and boils down to comparing with pics and trying to work out which extreme your clone is closest to - large, leafy spathe or small non-leafy spathe.

[Martin Baxendale]

Apologies for miss-spelling Viridapice as Viridapicis, which is an old variant spelling that I grew up with, but most people now go with Viridapice.
