Galanthus reginae-olgae is doing well in the rock garden at Wisley, photographed last week;
I bought a snowdrop labelled G. reginae-olgae 'Cambridge' from the Wisley plant centre which has slight green smudges on the outer petals.
This one is G. reginae-olgae 'Uranium', difficult to photograph but there is a distinct green glow to the petals. 'Adamite' is similar and looked very green when it first opened but faded quicker.

Rainbow Farm Early on 19 October, I don't think it's flowered this early before.

Galanthus elwesii Naomi Slade
Gerd
'Naomi Slade' is a selection of G. reginae-olgae Gerd not elwesii, described as "an early flowering form appearing in September/October and has very large, wide-petalled flowers with a solid green mark on the inner petals". My plant is flowering now so not particularly early and I wouldn't say the flowers are any wider than other forms although perhaps they will increase with age?
And whilst on the subject of Galanthus that are not elwesii - last month I posted a picture of my Galanthus 'Kinn McIntosh' which had been sold to me as an elwesii cultivar but the leaves didn't look right - more like reginae-olgae but with a slightly folded back plicatus edge. Last week I spoke to Bob Brown (who in reference to Maggie's comment "I've read that Bob Brown of Cotswold Garden plants found this in the garden of the person for whom it is named - in 1946 !! Bob must be older than I thought!!" says he was only one year old then). He says that he was told it was a form of G. byzantinus. This is now considered to be a subspecies of G. plicatus which makes more sense looking at the leaf characteristics. Bob's plants weren't up but he is going to have a look when they appear and see if they are the same as mine;

Thank you Gail - it seems I have to have a closer look at my labels!

Some Galanthus in the garden this week:
G. reginae-olgae flowers opened nicely with 20 degrees Celcius earlier this week.
G. reginae-olgae 'Casper'
G. bursanus opened up and yes, it actually did smell very sweet up close.
Just a bunch of normal g. reginae-olgae.
Newly acquired g. peshmenii about to flower. Looking forward to 'Green flight'.

Some autumn-flowering snowdrops out now. I'd rather be indoors photographing today!
These show variation in one batch of seedlings from G. reginae-olgae x peshmenii
These two are maybe my favourites with large flowers
Autumn Beauty is performing well this year after taking a few years to bring it back to health from a dodgy start in a garden centre

Galanthus reginae-olgae Eleni came into the house bearing a passenger!
Galanthus reginae-olgae Tilebarn Jamie is another fine cultivar.
These two are the same species - both G. peshmenii. The more compact, small-bulbed form on the left, and the bigger, beefier Kastellorizo form on the right.

Nice to see these do well for you outside, Timothy - I'm not so lucky here in Aberdeen.
