Welcome/Willkommen Frankie, I`m a non-English too. I saw your very interesting pics in Your Belgian forum. They look very good. Is Your forum only for Belgians? My English is bad  but my Belgian is nothing! Can  I have a chance for Your forum too?

Lovely photographs.  (and very good English already  )

Thanks John for te welcome. Wat about my Englis(c)h, i'm working on it.

Hello Hagen. You are also welcome to the Belgian VRVforum. That's for sure. The most of us will understand your English. No problem at all.  Actually, the photos wil speak for them.

Yes Maggi, it's something you don't see every day. Hmmm, a hedgehog, you say, in dutch we say: 'een egel'.

Galanthus elwesii Barnes out a week earlier than last year

[KentGardener]

Very nice Tony - is that greenhouse grown?  My Barnes in the open garden is only 1 inch of leaves so far.

My first flower of the season opened in the sun this afternoon

John not in the greenhouse but a frame so quite protected.

Mine still not through John!!

Mine still not through John!!

Admittedly mine was in a basket pot above ground until a few weeks ago...   so that may have advanced it's growing season.  But the original write up does suggest this is about the right time for some gardens:

"A very early flowering snowdrop that often starts flowering at the beginning of October.  Similar to Barnes but usually flowers much earlier in our garden.  Sometimes has 3 leaves and rarely a few green lines at the tips of the outer segments."

That's an early one, John, here in Belgium, my G. hiemalis is just a few cm high.
