I feel cold just looking at that photograph Hagen!  Brrrrr!

Nice looking flower - I hope you get some sun to thaw it out.

Little Dorrit was £15 I think (I was concentrating on primula allionii and saxifrage).

Has anyone ever seen Anne of Geierstein do this?

This is my Anne of Geierstein. Do I have to call it Little Dorrit now?

This is slightly disappointing, of course. But then I looked up the North Green catalogue and found, that Littel Dorrit is offered there for GBP 40.00 wheras I paid for that Anne of Geierstein "just" GBP 25.00, well, maybe it is not so bad ...  :)

Three snowdrops with a face:
Wheras Clare Blakeway-Phillips is well known and its blurred mark may vary, Wachtmeister Dimpfelmoser is a grumpy looking one from Germany and rather new, a selection made by Horst Bäuerlein.
Green Teeth is a newer cultivar distributed by Joe, but the teeth are more looking like eyes for me ... :-)

Beautiful snowdrops Thomas.

G. 'Coolballintaggart' is the last one here, usually considered as synonymous with 'Straffan'.

Hi Ashley,

G. 'Coolballintaggart' is in flower here also, at the same time as G. 'Straffan' and, to me, not any way distinguishable from it.

I like your Corydalis solida - 'George Baker', I presume?

Hagen, it produces a second scape consistently, later and smaller than the first.

Yes I got it as 'George Baker' Paddy.  The colour seems more intense this year, maybe due to the cold nights we've had recently.

Galanthus plicatus 'Washfield Warham' (photo 1 and 2)is one of the latest cv's.
And I have never seen flowering Galanthus 'April Fool' (photo 3) in the month april. They must called him 'March Fool'.
