That's a lovely find Ru (great photo too  8) )

Thomas - I like it.  On trying to think of something similar the first things that sprung to mind on this early morning were 'Emma Thick' and 'Kirtling Tower'.  On finding the photos I see that neither is very similar  ::) - back to the drawing board.

Some nice ones here Ru and Simon.  I particularly like the shape of the Galanthus graecus from Odessa and the way the  spathe curls over on 'G. nivalis SGUS3a smudged uppers'

Hello Ru, I wish you the yellow will come every year so clear.

Hello Simon, you showed us a G. nivalis with small basal marks. That is unusual for this species.

The warm parts of this winter were deadly for krasnovii and also for platyphyllum. Good to see healthy plants.

Very good, Hans. How do you grow it? In an alpine house?

Thank you, John. At least there don't seem to be too many similar forms around ...  :)

A green galanthus?
I like the difference between the outer green and the very dark green of the apical mark.
Has no name.

Great plant, Hagen  :)
But if you should refer to the plant I showed, the main point of interest was not the tiny green mark of course but the shape of the flower, which showed a tendency of being inverse poculiform, and then the green on the outer tepals would be like a sinus mark ...
