Hagen, who is the Ruby that the flower is named for? Could it possibly be Ruby Baker?

Of course, Brian. The name is given with her accordance/acceptance and I hope Ruby has this year some joy for the nice globular and greentipped flower(s) in her own garden.

How suitable that it has her approval, I am sure it will be a good flower.  Could we see a picture later on when the tips have darkened please?

I suppose the next question should be, is it Ruby's birthday today, or is the Galanthus flowering around her birthday?

Very nice, Hagen. Is it a reginae-olgae or an autumn-flowering elwesii monostictus?

Martin, RUBY´S GEBURTSTAGSBLUMEN is a Galanthus peshmenii cultivar.
Brian, here in Germany we say "snowbells", and RUBY´S rings until her birthday comes (end of october). This year the flowers are very early. Here is a pic of the last year.

A very interesting flower. Are there other cultivars of peshmenii?

Two more r/os through; Sofia and Cambridge, the latter showing in their pot and also in open ground on the same day. Kastellorhizo should be flowering in a week or so.

This one has been flowering for a week or so.  Unfortunately the label has gone walkabout.

Gail, your Galanthus should be reginae-olgae.

I have a feeling that it is a cultivar rather than straight species but memory has gone along with the label....
I have ordinary reginae-olgae elsewhere in the garden but they are not up yet.

Well I saw G. reginae olgae 'Tilebarn Jamie' out in a garden this week if that rings a bell Gail?

Sorry Gail, I have only CAMBRIDGE but it isn`t blooming now. So I can`t help you with a cultivar name.

Here are two RUBY`S in the late evening sun, today.

Very nicely shaped petals, much better seen on this photo Hagen.
