Snowdrop Assessment

[johnw]

We need an honest assessment of this G.elwesii, let reason prevail.  It was found last year growing in a colony of regular elwesiis out in British Columbia.  Not mine as much as I like it.  It is firmly established now in several gardens.  Are there similar elwesiis that are already named?  If so is this an improvement or not and if it is should it be named?  A couple of those marks on the outers are bits of peat.

It looks to be a very charming inverse poculiform elwesii.  I cannot think of any other elwesiis like it but who am I to know.  And on the other hand there are now more similar plicatus types derived from 'Trym' than you can shake a stick at.  Maybe Matt will see this and comment?

John, it is a very interesting kind of shape. But also it seems to have a not too small flower (often the invers poc have) and it has much and (deep?) green color.
I say it looks like a canadian snowbell. Or a clematis flower.
Good made!!!! Best result!!!
Now our  waiting has/makes a new sense. We will have and need time (to wait)

If you want a name, how about "O Canada"!

Looks great John. Any closer photos?

Thanks for the input everyone.

Mark  - My guess is this is the only photograph as this one was taken in the middle of January.

John  - I will pass on the name suggestion,  I like that!
