DANUBE STAR is always a pleasure

Last not least SCHMALHANS IM GRÜNEN a G nivalis with a lot of green

Some fantastic snowdrops there, Hagen, most of which we don't get to see in this country.

Alan, a few bulbs of mine arrive your island every year. Really.

Hi Hagan

A very nice selection of snowdrops as always  .  Good to see that the German season will keep us entertained again when the England drops are going past their best due to the recent warm days.

"GRÜNER ATEMRÄUBER" is a nice shape and colour.

Your "creamy kind of BLONDE INGE" - is it really cream in colour?  It's a similar shape to 'Chadwicks cream'.

"IRRLICHT" is such a deep yellow - like the yoke of free range eggs.

"SCHMALHANS IM GRÜNEN" is a nice light shade of green.

It is also interesting that your 'Danube Star' is already open - mine is still going upwards and hasn't dropped yet.

Looking forward to your next set of photographs.

Yes, I do believe it, Hagen, but I haven't seen any of them on my visits to other people's snowdrop gardens.

Actually, come to think of it, what I really need to do I somehow get over to see your garden!  That is, unless its location is a closely-guarded secret like Joe Sharman's (as he said on a recent short radio program on snowdrops).

Danube Star looks like Gloria. What do you think of this ? What are the differences between them ?

[Gerard Oud]

These were worth waiting for after such a long time with snow Hagen!

[Gerard Oud]

Very dark green on the outer petals and double and almost spiky
I had a phonecall while i noticed i had forgotten to upload the latest photos but here they are!

[jppreaux]

I don't understand Gerard

Talking about Yellow

[Brian Ellis]

I am so pleased to see your snowdrops are beginning Hagen, ours will soon have gone over so we get a double bite of the cherry

Some super cultivars yet again, many of which I hadn't seen, I must re-visit your website.

Cheers

Brian

If you look at the photos on the excellent site www.galanthus-online.de they look identical.
