Great pics Mark, Hans and Hagen! Greenfinch and Tatiana are stunners.
Got a bit of sun here this morning before it clouded over again, so managed to snap a few of my seedlings with wider open flowers:

Most are hybrids, Mark, all involving plicatus and most being plicatus X gracilis. The long-outer elwesii is a pure elwesii seedling selection from 'Kite'.
Two more; not my own seedlings but two really good (and quite similar) ones raised by Colin Mason - 'Fieldgate Superb' and 'Fieldgate Fugue':

Martin, I hope some of your fantastic seedlings aren`t only numbers. A good kind must have a name, an animation for fantasy. Only you know the best and can compare!!!

Ah I do like 'Three Ships'. Wish it were here in Aus, but as far as I can find out it isn't. Bummer!!
I would have been really surprised at the "all white" versions of snowies if I hadn't been given a bulb of one a few weeks ago. Until then I didn't even realise that there WERE all white versions other than the poculiformis types I see pics of. I now await the flowering of 'Sibbertoft White' in years to come, so that I can see the all whites "in the flesh". Wonderful pics everyone. Martin, your seedlings are very nice. You've obviously got some nice parents there to be producing such lovely seedlings. At the rate you're going you may be able to start selling the seeds, just on the off chance that people might get such nice seedlings in their own gardens. Very nice!!

Great to see such lovely photos on a miserable day. The white ones are lovely, especially when they look pristine. All in all some really nice snowdrop pictures today, thank you.

Thanks Hagen. I'm sure I'll be naming some eventually, but only the very best - and I have hundreds of seedlings growing on, still to flower, to select from so it isn't going to be easy. There are other seedlings already selected but which have been chipped to make them into clumps quickly, so I'll be showing more as time goes on. Right now, a lot are in the chipping pipeline.
Paul, if I succeed in raising some tetraploids (as I've mentioned in the snowdrop breeding thread, that's one of my main aims) then it should be much easier to produce lots of snowdrop seed which will also be tetraploid or triploid and produce good big strong snowdrops. As well as providing much more and better material for cultivar selection, that will also introduce the possibility of producing some fairly true-breeding strains of snowdrops - i.e. good big cultivar-like snowdrops that can be raised from readily available seed. Don't hold your breath, though. It may be a long haul!

My goodness, you blink and three pages pop up.
Fantastic.
I'm with Martin. Tatiana and Greenfinch are stunning. I see the latter is on the bid for list at North Green. I wish they wouldn't do that. At least with ebay you can see the price but this closed bids. It has been said before, but if there are five snowdrops and the highest bid is £100 and the 5th bid is £30 does everyone pay £30 or does some poor sucker pay £100 and the rest whatever they bid?

yep you pays for what bid. So if three are for auction and you bid £100 you pay that even if the next one down is £20. It's the chance you take. I hate it too as it's aimed at those with fat wallets
