Emmelina out today. A long ovary like Warley Longbow.

Is it a reginae-olgae?

I have been away/busy for a few days so only just catching up on the recent posts. Thanks for all the comments on watering through the dry UK autumn, feel much relieved that others have been doing at least the occasional watering.

Love the photos of the wild peshmenii and Emmelina.

Tony - from Turkey, beautiful photographs; great to see the situations and conditions in which these snowdrops grow in the wild.

Steve, wonderful snowdrop, so elegant.

not really a November Snowdrop but spotted what will be my first flowering chip (Mighty Atom from 2008) so it made my day  :)


Very satisfying isn't it Richard ;D

it is, I was a little nervous about planting them last year but they seem to be better than the ones I left in pots.

the byzantinus ex warham you sent me are looking great, am hoping one in the greenhouse will be flowering by xmas.

Jolly good, I am amazed at how far advanced they are this year, don't expect it every year Richard ;)

Thanks a lot for sharing the superb pictures of G. peshmenii, Tony!
I agree, Emmelina is a very nice one -  not very usual for a G. elwesii I would think.

A very nice surprise in the garden: Galanthus cilicicus - twin headed   :)

Tony, impressing pictures of lovely clumps of peshmenii!

Do you see a big difference to reginae-olgae?

Checking the twin headed Galanthus cilicicus I think both flowers are on a single stem, not on two fused ones - the stem has the same diameter as single flowering specimen.

Hans a lovely double-decker G.cilicicus, I think this form is really fun and seems to arise now and again.  The question is will it do it next year 8)
