Not everybody likes this snowdrop (e.g. KentGardener doesn't) but I have a soft spot for it.  It seems to be an accidental hybrid between G. nivalis flora pleno and G. plicatus but it is a much more perfect double than nivalis flore pleno; it always has three outer petals and no aberrant/abhorrent inners.  I call it "Cressida", but that's my little joke.

Two Galanthus, both bought at garden centres as G.elwesii, clearly not. The one with 3 flowers I have had since 2008 and I have already been able to give one to a friend, and the other I bought last year. I presume that they are G.woronowii

Very neat and tidy Alan.

Janette

WOW!   :o  

They are fantastic finds.  Very very nice.   P1010535_2.jpg particularly so.  

IMG_1949_2-0.jpg is lovely but also slightly similar to other woronowii finds.

But  P1010535_2.jpg - again WOW!   8)

You will be able to do lots of swops for those with members and increase your collection with lots of lovely drops.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.

I can see what you mean Alan. There is a quite simplicity about it.

Janette - You must be tickled with your finds especially as they have proven to be stable so far.
