Thanks Mariette,

To be honest i wasnt massively bothered about the incorrect species as the price was very good, they were in the green and they had some lovely characteristics !

The multiple flowers per bulb interested me -- i am aware of some that reliably produce multiples but i still thought it was fairly rare ?

Of course You´re right, even among those species where it occasionally  occurs it´s not frequent. I think it would be worthwhile to breed for that feature. ´Wolfgang´s Gold´, for instance, produces up to 3 stalks, and several of its seedlings show the same tendency.

Galanthus elwesii ´Wolfgang´s Gold´
