Galanthus reginae-olgae

[Brian Ellis]

The second photo shows the variation you can get, these were sown in June 2006 and moved into this pot earlier this year. The tallest flower is 24cms from the soil whereas others have only just come through the surface. An exciting time of the year, you never know what goodies are going to emerge.

That is amazing, I hope you have some pleasant surprises.  I'll certainly have to start looking into growing from seed.

a couple of pots in flower now.

[Melvyn Jope]

Mature bulbs of this new selection consistently produce four inner and outer perianth segments,to give what I think is a lovely symetrical flower.
I have named it Galanthus reginae-olgae Tessera, Greek for four.

[Brian Ellis]

  Wowed yet again!

  ! speechless.

[Ragged Robin]

A fantastic snowdrop, Melvyn, congratulations 

[Lesley Cox]

And it looks really nice and appropriate while most "three" flowers, (Iris, Trillium, Weldenia) look like travesties when they produce an extra.

[Hagen Engelmann]

Melvyn, a good name for a nice flower. Now I know for ever the Greek 4!

[Anthony Darby]

Impressive, and no doubt a very desirable plant?

[Melvyn Jope]

Four of my favourite Galanthus reginae-olgae.
Mette, in the garden this afternoon, I love this lant because of its elegant form with very long pedicels.
Sofia because its such a robust plant which many people are now growing.
Evienia, the largest of all my G.r-o's with an outer perianth segment length of 40mm.
Fotini, I think she speaks for herself.

[Maggi Young]

Very nice indeed. Quite distinct.... good grief, I never thought I'd hear myself say that.... Mette stands out so well against the autumn colours behind. Sofia is deliciously chunky....I like her the best....Evenia is just too long and thin for my taste  and the green one is too green!

[Lesley Cox]

Oh no Maggi, the green is delicious, so cool and minty.

[Anthony Darby]

My goodness. Just when I was happy with my lot, Melvyn produces a four petalled r-o and then caps it off with a green one!

[Brian Ellis]

How lucky you are Anthony, every time I see these wonderful snowdrops I wish I was happy with my lot   Both 'Fotini' and 'Sofia' are to die for.
