Galanthus nivalis "Chuguyster"
« on: April 15, 2011, 09:10:23 AM »
Hi all! Here, I put some new (I hope  ;D) mutation I found recently for the genus - with completely calyx-like petals. The same for the pistil looking like a leaf. The anthers are normal as I saw, remains to determine whether the pollen is formed and whether it is fertile.
I've named this one as "CHUGUYSTER" (it is folkloric Carpathian forest spirit)  ::)  ::)   I still imagine how it will look in mass when it forms a clump!!!

Nice Dimitri.   8)

Is it a new find this year or is it a find from a previous year so that you know it will always do this?

That is a wild-looking nivalis Dmitri and it must have been hard to spot.  Well done.

John, this one is always like on picture, I know culture population from near 10-15 plants of different petal length but all of them have calyx-like flowers. It was found in some wild Ukrainian sites and still growing during 10-15 years in one live collection of some person.

Thanks, Hagen! Apparentely, this one hasn't the pollen at all((( only somewhat similar to anthers....
