Snowdrops in March 2012

[Lesley Cox]

It can, even from me.

That makes me smile too, Lesley ...

David  - Nice to see Prague Spring. I assume it's a nivalis.

johnw - not on the dartboard but 1 meter away, on the plaster wall near the cracks and the faulty off-on electric light switch.

Can this snowdrop raise a smile?

I've said this before but I think the Dutch classification system really missed a trick by not having a "Funny Face" Group (to which Thomas' snowdrop would obviously belong).  Remember 'funny face' pansies?

Yes John, it is a nivalis.

There is some hope, that it might be stable, at least as for the two outer and inner segments. Forumist salamander, from whom I got it for observation, has two or three of it. About the split basal marking , which makes the face, I am not sure. Time will tell.

Steve, is G. 'Steve's Yellow' your finding?
Do you still have many snowdrops in flower?
They look great.

[Thomas Seiler]

To which species does 'Steve's Yellow' belong? A nivalis? Or is it a hybrid?

[Hagen Engelmann]

Steve, a fine tuff of CICILY HALL. 
What are the stories of the yellows?
The is a lot of fog inside your pics .
