Galanthus anomalies- "wrong" flowers

[KentGardener]

I was sure there was already a thread featuring Galanthus that have done weird sh!t for one season - but I can't find a single thread so am presuming our pictures must be spread out over many.  So thought I would start a thread on some weird stuff I have see over the last few weeks (if anyone can find a thread already started please let Maggi know so that it can be merged).  I am always interested in these one off flowers - so would be handy for me to find them all in one place.  

We are unlikely to see some of these oddities again in a hurry so I think it would be nice to record them for prosperity.  

1 & 2 - 'David Baker' with 4 petals

3 - 'Finchale Abbey' with 4 petals

4 - fused 'Kite'

5 - One just called '2 fused flowers' that has done it in previous years and is being kept an eye on.

6 - This one I at first thought was just a regular 4 petaled anomaly - but on looking at the photo I see it  is actually two '2 petal' flowers that have fused to make a 4 petal flower.

Interesting to see David Baker with 4 petals, mine is normal outside, but has sort of got 4 inners, although it looks like one has split into two, I suppose that's how these things happen.

One of my krasnovii just poking through has green tips

Have just spotted another 4 petal one in my garden.

'Madelaine'

I never see oddities in my garden except for this year with elwesii Green Tip gone wrong. I should have posted the photos here instead of the main Galanthus thread

I have a 4 petaled Apothecary here, will try and get a picture this afternoon,it is going over now so it might not be a great one

[Maggi Young]

[mark smyth]

OK you're correct but you are also wrong

[Brian Ellis]

Something walrus like at the front.

Something walrus like at the front.

Just what I was thinking - partially hidden - but definitely a pair of green tusks pointing downwards.

[mark smyth]

ta daaaaaa! Probably a one off but a walrus type Warei could be nice

[Maggi Young]

Oh, right.... this walrus-ish one.....


There are several of them missing the tips though......will that be stable?
