Galanthus January 2012

[Paddy Tobin]

Well, the two of you have made my morning brighter. G. 'Lavinia' is growing in a small raised bed which is around the base of a Malus 'Golden Hornet' and it is, perhaps, my favourite spot in the garden. There are trilliums, cyclamens, snowdrops, crocus, small primulas, a big-leafed ajuga to cover everything and lots of other little things. It is a little bed that I like very much, great level of interest there.

And, I do think G. 'Lavinia' is an excellent snowdrop also and it is one I look forward to each year.

A nice way to start Sunday with your photos Paddy, I love to see your clumps and drifts

[annew]

Very nice to see established clumps. John in Kent, do you stand guard like that every night? I wouldn't like to try and pinch any of your drops! (Or anybody else's naturally)

[Lina Hesseling]

John and Paddy, I love to see your pictures. Snowdrops look the best when they have formed a clump, isn't it? I will have to wait a few more years before mine will be like this.

John, do your fish always stay up with you? 

Paddy, this little border must be a great pleasure with all these little treasures.

[Thomas Seiler]

Wow, John, very impressing pics  , master of fire and ice 

Paddy, your Lavinia group is absolutely wonderful 

[Paddy Tobin]

My goodness, I must post a photograph of this clump of G. 'Lavinia' when it has filled up.

[Lina Hesseling]

[Lina Hesseling]

this is the first time I show a snowdrop here. It is not the greatest picture, but I like to show this one.

G. 'Janus'

[Paddy Tobin]

'Janus' to start off your year, very appropriate.

The mild weather brought us an early galanthus season too. But between the light I found also big shadows.

Here you can see my group of PEG SHARPLES, wandering into the eternal dark.

The next is a newcomer from GB, called TRYMER or TRIMMER. Who can tell me his whole story please?!

Urgh! You have botrytis. Sorry, Hagen.

[Brian Ellis]

Hagen, as far as I understand it (and I could be wrong) Rannveig Wallis had the care of some Trym seedlings from Primrose Warburgs garden.  They have been exceptional and have given rise to snowdrops like 'Megan' and 'Corrin'.  As this also comes from Rannveig I assume it is a relative of those.  I am really pleased with it.  Someone will correct me I hope?

[Hagen Engelmann]

Martin, not only Botrytis.
Here is a fresh sacrifice of Stagonospora. It was a yellow Gpb.  I`m angry so much.
Hope your garden is much more "clean".

[Hagen Engelmann]

Thank you, Brian I heard about CORRIN and MEGAN. Two names of my wishlist too!!

John why is the bird feeder empty?

I'm happy to see my Trumps is now double figures.

Too many empty places

Good to see Eranthis are now up - R. cilicicus, Guinea Gold and Swefel whatever
