Galanthus in November 2011
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:23:37 AM »
Days go by.
Now it is November.
I think the flowers of Galanthus look much more like snow flakes now.

Beautiful flower, Hagen. Nicely photographed against the autumn colour of the leaf.

Hagen,

something new and areal beauty! Never seen such a type in autumn.
Is this a variety of reginae-olgae?

Very nice, Hagen. Is there more than one clone/seedling there? The snowdrop closest to the camera has a different flower shape and a different ovary shape.

Thank you for compliments.
It is only one stock, Martin. The flower size don`t look equal every year and differs a little bit from flower to flower (think to ANGLESEY ABBEY).

G reginae-olgae but also G peshmenii are able to create these poculiforme flowers.
And I hope G elwesii monostictus can it too.

The background plant is Geranium wlassowianum.

That's very early for an ikariae type, Emma. Is it always this early?

Might answer your question Roland.  I bought mine from Glen Chantry 3 years ago. Its never flowered this early before. Its at least a month or more ahead of previous flowerings  ( i don't think flowerings is a word, hey ho , suits my purpose)

I think its classed a separate species from Ikarie these days. It is increasing slowly . It coped well with the snow and temperatures as low as -17 last December in Dorset.
