Galanthus November

[Hagen Engelmann]

Hans, all have a big apical mark. Good flowers

[Paddy Tobin]

Great flowers, Hans

[Warren Desmond]

Thanks Hagen, those plants grow in an very shady corner - light conditions are not the best to take pictures and they seem to be less 'bluish'  than those which get more sunshine - here a picture of same species in a sunnier corner.

Love the image Hans..flowers & setting spot on

The temperature today was 12 to 14°C and Gal. 'Peter Gatehouse' and G. elwesii ssp. monospictus
open their flowers in the garden.

A nice little show Uli.  Only Cambridge in flower here.

re: Peter Gatehouse

Is this not the one we were trying to identify earlier this year?  I thought it might have been Carolyn that posted it, maybe someone else.

Ring any bells?

The fairly full green marking on the inners should make Peter Gatehouse distinctive amongst the early-flowering elwesii snowdrops.

A few images of Galanthus reginae-olgae seen in the Peloponnese this week.

[Paddy Tobin]

Fabulous to see them growing in the wild. Lovely shots. Many thanks.

[Oakwood]

Thank you, Melvyn! what the happy moments to eye the drops in the wild - all over the world! in the Peloponnese or in the Caucasus Every spring I'm looking forward to go to the Crimea, or Caucasus, or Bessarabia, or even around Kiev vicinities to see all these species in the wild!!! Thanks - nice pics!!! 

[Melvyn Jope]

Thank you Paddy and Dimitri.
An additional pleasure on my trip to the Peloponnese last week was to encounter a site with several more plants than usual having flowers with four petals. I guess its all a matter of taste but if they are perfectly symmetrical I like them very much.

More pictures please.

Fine Snowdrops Uli! One of your monostictus has four petals? Is it a stable feature?
Melvyn, thanks to show such beautiful reginae - olgae growing in nature! Those with four petals are very special!

Here some Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus from spain.

That G.e.monostictus_2_12-11-25 is very special

Melvyn, thank you for your "Galanthus gala" of the Peleponnes. I like to see them in wild too.
Hans, your G.e.monostictus in the middle looks very nice and all the others are also very good.
My G.e.monostictus with 4 outer petals is stable (?) for the second year. Once I found a clump
of G.nivalis, 5 bulbs, all with 4 petals. They bring them again every year.

A remarkable selection, Hans. Each one very beautiful.
