a few more from me, can anyone id this one, it was supposed to be nivalis 'bohemia white', but its obviously not! its inner marking is not normal though. applanate foliage would suggest its a nivalis or nivalis hybrid. it could be tatjiana but i though that one had virescent outers.



Rob ,

be cool  8)
You receive received this plant from my orginal stock of 'Bohemia White' - so you can be shure it is true

I have just looked with my torch for my plants - they have also in this year green dots
This plants are always a bit variable each year

My stock comes from the finder direct - thats not a hybrid

Please look for the earlier pics of 'Tatjana' - they are different

All the snowdrops you showed us are absolutely wonderful and distinct. Thank you, Hagen.
Maybe 'Wellenspiel' is the most unusual one and very aptly named, as it means playing of the waves.

By chance is there a G. 'Glöckchenspiel' as well?  ;)

I think, we still have to find and name that in Germany, if Hagen does not already have it in his youngest hand ...  :)

Somehow I had in it my head that 'Hans Guck in die Luft' was nivalis but clearly it is plicate.

Ohhh....... wie schade: ist es nur die beste Wahl für das Gespräch über Schneeglöckchen, nicht auch anderen Themen ? :-\ ;)

Snowdrops are looking after themselves. That saves a lot of time ...  :)

Last year there was a new and stunning G. plicatus subsp. byzantinus in my garden. This year it appeared again with one flower and I had a vague hope this could be a chance seedling of my own. But this week I found the label again, deep in the soil and a bit aside. It is Galanthus plicatus subsp. byzantinus 'Patrica Ann', received from Dr R. Mackenzie's Snowdrop Company in March 2005. There was no sign of life the following year and I forgot about it. But I realizied a first leaf three years ago, considering it as a seedling. Well, there is always hope ...  :)

Morning JohnW, if the name GLÖCKCHENSPIEL is free for using, I will looking for the right galanthus. It must be small but globular??? And a good grower.

Would you like the example? ;)

Still in flower on Friday (19th March) and looking very fresh and clean were these stands at Skipton Castle in West Yorkshire.

A few days before, John the kentgardener showed us a pot full of galanthus nivalis virescens. Wonderful. Here are some different types of gnv.

At first this is a very long and green flower

Very fine green stripes on the outer segments, but no children. It`s an ignorant of splitting >:(.
