I photographed the plant on my web site at Margaret Owen's garden in 2009.

Magggi ,

I just found in the Snowdropbook from Bishop ,Grimsaw .... :

"the 2001 autumn cataloge of the Dutch bulb merchant P.Nijssen of Heemstede includes two new cultivars of G.elwesii that appear to fit here :
'Bo bette' and 'Spring Pearl'.Both have separate and apical marks."

There is nothing written that 'Bo bette' has green markings on the outer petals ...

You are correct, Hans, I can find nothing written about outer marks, only two inner marks.

Hans, Maggi, http://www.galanthus-online.de/kultivare-a-d/bo-bette.html shows you  really SPRING PEARL. I can say it, because I sent the original pic to galanthus-online with a correct caption.

I struggle to see why anybody would be bothered naming either the one on Mark's site or the one on the Nijssen site they both look like an ordinary G. elwesii.

Hagen, have you heard anything about whether elwesii 'Green Brush' is a clone propagated by division or chipping from a single seedling or whether it is a seed-raised strain or a grex propagated from a number of similar seedlings? Snowdrop growers here are seeing a lot of variation in the green markings on the outers. What has been the experience of growers in your part of the world?
