Galanthus in January

[Tony Willis]

Galanthus sp. from Vermion,the one Zubov is calling G. graecus. Like Melvyn's mine is part way between G.elwesii and G.gracilis.

What a beauty - lovely shape and poise.

[Brian Ellis]

That certainly is a lovely looking snowdrop.

Hi everyone, thought I'd post a couple of pictures of a group of Godfrey Owen that are in flower now in my garden.

Thank you Emma T for the original....

Godfrey Owen is an impressive and distinctive snowdrop but I have managed to kill it off twice.  Which is annoying, because I do not think it should be that hard to grow. 

[Mavers]

Hi Alan, the first Godfrey Owen I bought from the Doc died.

Luckily when Emma T heard my tale of woe when visiting Snape Cottage she said she may be able to replace it as she had tried her hand at twin scaling.............clever girl!

I wish my camera picked out the details within the white of the flowers better.

Very nice snowdrop Tony, great markings and a beautiful shapped flower  . Do you grow this snowdrop inside ?

[snowdropcollector]

Godfrey Owen is a impressive snowdrop, that's my opinion too. But like you Alan, I have managed to kill it also.
I was given a new bulb as dormant last summer. It is showing, so hopefully I will see it flower ( still have to wait 2/3 weeks I think...)

Yes in pots, they are split between the greenhouse and frames

Top of the Pocs - didn't I used to watch that on TV a long time ago?

You are welcome  glad they are growing well for you . Mine are not in flower just yet .

[Brian Ellis]

Blimey Mike, mine are barely a cm through the ground!

Top of the Pocs John?  I think you have to say that they have to do well for you, on that basis of those that I grow: Gloria, Mark Solomon, Don Armstrong - not necessarily in that order.

My 'Godfrey Owen' opened slightly yesterday and I tried to get a photograph from below. The plant is outside in the garden.
It seems to increase slowly but surely here.

Very nice plant Tony, galanthus from Mt Vermion seem to produce a lovely range of markings.
