Arthur - I was given several G. gracilis "highdown" by another forum member last year - thanks Richard  :) :) :). They are flowering in the garden and have the same twisted leaveas and paler green ovary as yours, however they have a different marking on the inner petals. I will try to photograph them this weekend and post a picture, actually I took several pictures in the sunshine on Monday but the flowers are all badly overexposed :-[ :-[ :-[


Difficult to say without seeing them (as I always say) but they do sound similar to Vic Horton, that is not to say they are - I'll try for a photo later.

My little snowdrop has a solid mark - quite unlike 'Highdown'

Nice to have you back with us Jennie  :D  I don't think you have a lot to worry about, there are still several of mine not showing.
 
Here are a couple of pictures of G. 'Vic Horton' I had to bring it in to make the flower open up as it is perishing out there - doesn't look like it's yours Arthur.  The G. gracilis 'Highdown' in the garden has foliage that is not as advanced as 'Vic Horton' (only an inch out of the ground).  The G. 'Highdown' should have the lovely pale receptacle of the gracilis group.

What lovely crockery and a delicious looking cake! I shall have to start looking out for cups and saucers with umbellifers on them!

I'm guessing you might prefer this one Maggi, made for visitors a couple of years ago by my friend Jane-Ann, one or two German forumists may have eaten a bit ;D

These pastries from Lina beat your chocolate ones, I'm afraid, David - not that I wouldn't  eat those if pushed!

It is the crockery which is so pretty too.  8) Probably nice even with a plain biscuit.....

Noticed this little one near a clump of Galanthus corcyrensis.  It is only 2 inches tall.  The Galanthus corcyrensis are taller this year than usual (8 - 10 inches), probably due to mild dull weather when they were coming into flower.  I expect it will be bigger next time it flowers.
