Warren is your camera that makes Wendy and Primrose so yellow or are they that colour in your garden?

This a group of my Wendy's Gold

That's a good point Mark

I and I'm sure many people on here have seen shots on the net...shall we say... "played with" look to them,I try not to use enhancements to my images (doesn't always work out that way though) while I was converting the image from a raw format to a jpeg I thought that they looked a bit too yellow...when it comes to galanthus I don't play with the color...just wouldn't seem rite...
the only thing it may be ? is the conversion possess that is done automatically with my software or as you pointed out might be the camera settings...
I will take a little nosey tomorrow
Thanks for pointing that out...

I found Mark's question interesting, since I hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary with Warren's colours.... here are the three pix together for comparison.... Warren's pix first and third  and Mark's in the middle....tomorrow I'll be going outside to look at my Wendy's Gold to see how yellow she is!!

Warren's 'Primrose Warburg'
Mark's 'Wendy's Gold'
Warren's  'Wendy's Gold'


Isn't it just as much a question of light ?

[Paddy Tobin]

I'm not sure that Warren's  photograph (the first photograph in Maggi's post above) is of 'Wendy's Gold'. On 'Wendy's Gold' almost the entire inner segment is yellow whereas Warren's has an apical mark. Perhaps, it might be one of the other yellows - 'Primrose Warburg' ?

The third photograph is of 'Wendy's Gold' alright and the colour difference between it and Mark's is not particularly different. One is in stronger sunshine than the other and is a little overexposed.

[Maggi Young]

Yes, Paddy, that's correct, I have given the impression that the pix are all 3 of Wendy's gold but the first one is Warren's photo of 'Primrose Warburg'  ....sorry for causing confusion !

[Paddy Tobin]

Maggi,

I've looked back at Warren's original posting and see that is how they are labelled there. Paddy

A couple from the garden yesterday.
June Boardman I had to have as she lives in the next village, I shall be going to see their drifts of yellows on Sunday.

Art Nouveau is a French snowdrop, their version of Modern Art.

Trymlet, almost seems old hat with all the new seedlings coming out this year.

Wasp, open in the sun

[Paddy Tobin]

A lovely selection, Brian, looking well with a little sunshine on them.

Despite the new seedlings from 'Trym', 'Trymlet' is still an excellent snowdrop.

I think you should use the single quotation marks around the cultivar name: 'June Boardman' I had to have as she lives in the next village rather than June Boardman I had to have as she lives in the next village

'June Boardman' looks like the reverse of 'Blonde Inge' in that the receptacle is yellow, but the inner mark is green.  Is this a typical flower, or does the inner mark more closely take on the colour of the receptacle?

One for the wish list, along with 'Wasp'.

Whoops, what will the neighbours think

Checking today, I must say that my Wendy's Gold is the same colour as Warren's  'Wendy's Gold'. 

[Brian Ellis]

Sorry Art, I was disturbed before I could answer your question.  In the sales literature the receptacle and inner mark were more of a muchness.  Three growers of it have the same colouration as me (this is it's first year), when I go to see the Boardman's on Sunday I will check up with them.
