Stagonospora infection - collected threads

Hans, yes it`s so. My TATIANA differs also a little. Some times she has very little dots. I found my bulbs in a hand full of BOHEMIA WHITE. Now I have these few very fine cultivars separated.
My offer for HANS ....was fun. Sorry. But I like still to look G. noname in its eyes.

Hagen! I was puzzled, I thought your photograph was very familiar, though I did not know your name.... now I realise that you must be the long lost brother of Mike Thornley of  Glenarn Rhododendron Garden.... later I will try to find a photo of him to show you your twin!

Tony W's wide spread 'drop looks like a wind turbine to me! 'Turbine' might be quite catchy if the plant catches on!

Maggie

Perfect name!

Hope the snowie doesn't get quite so tall!

Oh Maggy, I`m not seldom. I have a lot of twins

I have no idea if it looked like this previously,or indeed if it has flowered before.

I only started looking at them when the stock market dropped and seeing what prices they sell for I thought it might be a useful addition to my pension.It does look like a small scale wind turbine but I expect when it dies down it will be lost amongst the rest in the pot for another year. It will have had its moment of glory.

[KentGardener]

and I am glad we had the chance to share in its fleeting moment of glory....

 

(but do keep an eye on it next year  )

mentioning turbines I hear the Scottish Nature has turned down plans to put a wind farm on Lewis

And Maggi you must have a twinsister with the same name in germany, i found on a old forumsite about "der schneeglockchengarten", you were also there discussing about what kind of snowdrops one should grow. There are not that many Maggi's i think.

Gerard ,

I know this lady too - but her real name is not Margaret ....Maggi is only her forum name

[Gerard Oud]

That explains a lot!

Hello Gerard, since two years I have a look at these drops. I think/hope they are constant

Dear Galanthophiles,
can anybody help me with the identification of these beauties?
I got them several years ago from a friend and they do very well in my garden.
He told me, that they were collected from Caucasus and another friend said,that they
look like Galanhus artushenkoi.
Greetings
Rudi

Very nice Hagen

Rudi I have only seen Galanthus artjuschenkoae once (what I was told was artjuschenkoae). This is the photo I was sent
 
To me your snowdrops look like elwesii elwesii
