Eva Habermeier, my own selection, thought just an elwsesii, but from the garden of the late mother of a friend
Jessica
Lodestar
Grumpy
Hörup, a selction of Rita Thomsen from her garden at Hörup in the north of Germany next to the Danish border
Selborne Green Tips

Thomas,

Good to see that your weather has improved sufficiently for you to post some photographs of your snowdrops - and a lovely selection as well. 'Eva Habremeier' looks a lovely snowdrop.

Thank you, Paddy and Mark, and nice to see Bob and Margaret here ...

Thomas do you get twin flowers on your Selborne Green Tips?

[Thomas Seiler]

It is new to my garden. Last year no flower at all and now this single one. Maybe twins next year?

I hope so Thomas, I saw a lovely clump where nearly every scape had two flowers on it.  Good luck for next year

AAAARGH!!  I've had so many nice seedlings flowering again this year for the first time since chipping them, making nice clumps, but had no time to take pics for the forum and not even been here most days to see them!      Will have to try to get the camera out today and see if any are still worth snapping. But pollinating always takes priority.

Martin why not have the camera beside you/in your pocket and take a photo before pulling the flower apart?

[Thomas Seiler]

I am not very crazy about snowdrop memorabilia, but here is a photo of some of my items. There exists an arts and craft tradition in the frontier mountains between Saxony and Czechia making these small wooden figures of children holding a flower. And sometimes it is a snowdrop.
