snowdrops in April 2012

[Anthony Darby]

very nice shape indeed.

Exactly what I thought.  I also like Finchale Abbey (but I quickly killed the one sent to me by a kind forumist).

[Brian Ellis]

You are fortunate to see these Dimitri, G.trojanus  are there many variations to the mark in this one?

[Oakwood]

G. krasnovii from different locations, Abkhazia, Turkey
G. platyphyllus from S and N Osetia, Georgia
G. panjutinii sp. nova from Russia (from our Olga)))))
and this one G. nivalis with strange flowers.

[Brian Ellis]

Wow, I'd happily re-home that platyphyllus from the Krestovy Pass, what colouring!

It is very interesting to see these rare species in the wild, Dimitri, thank you for showing them.

Anne, it is in my garden, not in the wild!!!!

[Anthony Darby]

Thanks for posting Dimtri. I have memories of krasnovii and platyphylus (some people can be very generous) flowering in my garden, but it is a delight to see more pics and especially valentinae.

I suppose it could be variable, Brian, as all drop species! But this year I have only 2 plants blooming from my total 4 plants of G. trojanus.

Hello Dimitri, what a fabulous selection of plants, like Brian I think the G.platyphyllus from Krestovy Pass is particularly nice.
Many thanks for showing us.

Thanks, Melvyn! Welcome home - very showy trip in Greece - many thanks for sharing with us!
It's first time I have flowering this platyphyllus from Krestovy Pass that I've got from a friend from Nalchik  - I'm surprised even more than you to see such not orthodox inner segment coloration of it))))

Josef Jurášek advertises seed of Galanthus trojanus. I have some, but they have yet to germinate.

Then you are a lucky man!

[Hagen Engelmann]

Thank you Dima, I enjoy your fantastic gallery of unusual galanthus. Yes the inner whole green platyphyllus is one of the best.

[KentGardener]

I had wandered away from the Galanthus thread for this year as I thought the season was over.  Brian spoke to me on the phone yesterday and told me to have a look at Dimitri's wondering photographs. 

Thank you Brian for telling me - and thank you Dimitri for posting pictures of these wonderful flowers.  Great minds think alike.... I too particularly like Graecus Green, Nivalis F1, platyphyllus from the Krestovy Pass. 

And of course Chuguyster
