Nice eranthis Mark. Looks as if it might be a good year for them.

I really do like the look of 'Percy Picton' 

What you might not be able to tell from the angle of Warren's photo is that it is a "Magnet"-type, where the flowers dangle on the end of a really long, curved pedicel.

Nice shots of John's 'drops, Jenny.

Warren, you've been lucky with the sun to open yours I see. very nice

I did need a bit of (inside) help for percy picton though Maggie....  

[Warren Desmond]

Warren - Nice photos - I wish I actually had sun in my garden at this time of year - unfortunately terraced housing, fences and a leylandii have put pay to any chance of that!

I really do like the look of 'Percy Picton'  (Brian might have something to say about that!......) 

Thanks John

I had to lift the lattice pot's out of the ground for the image of john gray & lapwing thankfully they were in good sized pot's so no root dangle..

Where they get no sun until early feb.

Perhaps you ought to look for one to buy John 

[RichardW]

my P Picton looks like neither of those

The identity of this snowdrop is annoying me. Someone help me please

narrow grey leaves. I'll go out an measure them. Possibly an elwesii hybrid but not showing convolute leaves. Leaves applanate. All flowers identical.

Come on, folks - nobody willing to help out with my 'Trym' relative ID?

[Alan_b]

I guess nobody wants to admit that Trym and the Trymalikes all look much the same, Anne

[mark smyth]

I'll admit that all Trym types baffle me

Anne, I think you may need to wait and see how your lost-label flowers develop. At the moment it looks more like Trymlet than Trym - paler markings and ovary, slightly different ovary shape, and the outers not flaring out and reflexing. If the shape stays the same with age - i.e. not reflexing much if at all, then I'd say Trymlet.

Warren  -Your snowdrop photos are superb, amazing clarity.  Which camera are you using?
