Galanthus March 2010

Hi Robin, we never forgot Your fantastic GREEN MILE. I asked you for a bulb, but I was not the only one .....

[Martin Baxendale]

'Green Mile' is looking very good, Robin. Superb clump of rhizensis too - looks like a very strong grower, is it the Baytop triploid form?

Martin,

I bought 2 bulbs 5 years ago from a Belgian grower. No idea if it is triploid or not.

Some super snowdrops, thanks to you all, Robin that 'Green Mile' is stunning.

Looks like it may well be. Looks rather wide-leaved, strong and large flowered to be the smaller diploid form (which tends to split into lots of small bulbs, while the triploid Baytop form makes larger bulbs that don't split down into lots of non-flowering tiny ones).

Lovely pic of rizehensis, and I do like 'Green Mile'. Here is Galanthus elwesii 'Green Brush', 'Trumps', 'Tubby Merlin', G. krasnovii and 'Ailwyn'.

[Anthony Darby]

I have this one labelled "Galanthus nivalis 'Trym-like'".

I have this one labelled "Galanthus nivalis 'Trym-like'".

Nice snowdrop, but the stripes don't remind me of Trym.

[Maggi Young]

Don't Trym and its ilk  have  the funny flared shape? 

[Hagen Engelmann]

Morning Antony, the green tips of GREEN BRUSH look very different.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Thomas, you are the only German, who has enough sun in the garden, to make such fine pics. Wäre Dein Garten nur gleich um die Ecke. 

[Anthony Darby]

Hagen, the green tips of your 'Green Brush' look very different. Mine came from Gerard, so unless he has sent me something else, it should be right?
