Galanthus March 2010

[mark smyth]

here is my strange Viridapice again. The tusks are actually the spathe and the pedicel is missing.

Hi again here are the pictures taken at Brechin all are Galanthus plicatus.

Galanthus Green Man


I have not seen photos of this posted before so here they are.
I find this a nice vigorous snowdrop that multiplies well.

1, 4 and hybrid 1 look good.

[mark smyth]

Green Man looks great. I hear it going to on Avon's list. I've only seen it in one other garden

[mark smyth]

Does anyone grow Viridapice Quantock form? It's not very exciting.

[Paddy Tobin]

Brechin certainly seems to be a happy hunting ground for you, Ian. Some lovely snowdrops.

I like the spikies too
Bunch is a very nice one and I am waiting for Irish Green to open but that will take another week or so

[Gerard Oud]

Wow Ian, Brechin plicatus 2010 number 4 and 5 are breathtaking!

Mark i hope for you that viridapice with splitspathe/claws will be the same next year!

[mark smyth]

So do I Gerard. If it is it will be twin scaled next year.

Paddy, you have SO many gorgeous snowdrops - how many years have you been growing them?

'Little Ben' is really cute and 'Peardrop' is a sweetie    One to covet 

[Paddy Tobin]

The forum, at least the snowdrop section, is  quiet just now and so I will empty my SRGC photograph folder as I will not be cutting in on any other topic at the moment.
