A lovely selection, Steve, and all in remarkable good condition given the recent inclement weather.

I know Melvyn has shown us the wonderful reginae-olgae 'Fotini' before - but as I was lucky enough to be invited to Melvyn's for soup and snowdrops yesterday I thought another picture of his wonderful virescent snowdrop wouldn't go amiss on here.    8)

Certainly not, John. It's a lovely snowdrop and great to see a photograph.

For the record, John Foster has named the early elwesii I posted a picture of a few days ago, G. elwesii 'Advent'.
It will be in the next snowdrop book as it has Matt's seal of approval.

John, thank you for this green and good omen of the coming season. Yes I know, FOTINI is a Autumn galanthus, but who has already such wonderful bulb???

I took lots Mark - but I am breaking in a new camera that I got a couple of weeks ago, so most were fit for the bin!   :-\

Hi Mark

I went for a finepix HS10 as I have always had finepix so know a lot of the settings - but I really wanted the simple 30x optical zoom for Madeira.

As you have asked if there were any more pics - this not a great pic but as it is of the 4 petalled R. O. named 'Teresa' 'Tessera' I have posted it.  (EDIT: sorry, spelt the name wrong originally)

My photo is really not worth posting - but I've posted it anyway to keep the Galanthus area active.   :)

Hi John

The pic is fine but could you clarify the spelling of this variety? Thanks
