I really like 'Sundae' but also the Irish forms with their coloured foliage and compact habit. Juliae is always a favourite too.

Innisfree has flowered over a long period with only a few flowers at a time and has been damaged by wind and rain.  Drumcliffe is slightly more sheltered and the flowers have opened together in the centre of the plant, making an attractive posy.

I do like these white sieboldiis, Giles :)

I love the white sieboldiis too but if the names are as listed, I can't imagine a situation more calculated to cause total confusion for growers. 'Snowdrop?' 'Snowflake?' 'Snowflakes?' There's already 'Snowwhite.' I can imagine everyone with a couple asking, which is which is which? ??? Is it really sensible to name these anyway since they set seed readily and evey batch of seedlings runs the gamut of slightly different forms? None of which of course makes any one less beautiful.
