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

Thank you Thomas
I have no alpine house ...I grow it in my garden on a wet and shady spot.
My try with growing in pots was not well ...

Hans - Quite wonderful to see G. platyphyllus.  Was it an early riser or did it have the good sense to rise late in your garden?

I hope you will do some hybridizing!

Thank you JohnW !

I have just looked my older postings of this plants ...really interesting  :D

In one year it flowers on 29.03
http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3300.0

in a other on 24.03
http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6818.405

This says that the flowering time is really always the same ...luckily !
A lot of my other plants looks not so well ...and I hope that my G.ikariae ,snogerupii,woronowii,krasnovii have survived....

I will not make any hybrids  :o
My hope is to get pure G.platyphyllus ....the risk is low because all other snowdrops are over

Hans - You can always save pollen for next spring.  ;)

Yes I too went back to your older postings on platyphyllus and saw some pale yellow basal marks too.

I am surprised you are concerned about your woronowiis. Were they from a milder area?

Yes - I was also surprised about the G.woronowii  :(
I think the problem was the very warm December + January ....and than really cold in Feberuar ( two weeks around -15° ...and no snow :'(
Really interesting for me is Gal. fosterii ...no problems with the cold !

I'm with you on hybrids Hans, preferring the pure species.

Hans what a sad news.  :-\ What is the reason do you think? G. valentinae survived very bad winters in my garden.

Your platyphyllus looks absolutely perfect!

Olga ,

I think the reason was that your G.platyphyllus is much much earlier than my G.platyphyllus ex Georgia ...it has startet with flowering in January ....and than so many nights cold without any snow  :'(

Best wishes
