Ophelia should be a double. Mighty Atom may simply be elwesii monostictus or elwesii Comet

Hi Mark

Sure Ophelia is a double one and I have no idea what it can be
Galanthus Mighty Atom looks as many of my elwesii monostictus
but I didn't know the parent selection from Mighty Atom
sure these leaves are from elwesii

That's a lot of snowdrops.  It would help to divide them up into classes, doubles, yellows etc.  For example, you have two yellows amongst the set that I can spot and I think you have them the right way round because 'Wendy's Gold' has a fuller marking than 'Spindlestone Surprise'.   
Almost in Scotland.

I think the same Alan
but I am not a snowdrop specialist
just hobby
and chose one or two ok
but I have about fifty maybe wrong ones
that's a real challenge

And mine - note that not all G gracilis have very slender leaves.
