beautiful pictures, Anne...such a delight just to go through those albums!

Back to my modest G. elwesii: the petals are becoming more pointy, it's a sign the flower is almost over, It happened last year with G. nivalis too.

A little group of snowdrops with the River Tweed behind and Scotland beyond.  There was no sign of human habitation nearby and these were a bit too large to be the standard nivalis; I'm no good at identifying that type.
Almost in Scotland.

Very interesting, Alan. We spend a lot of time in Belford. I wonder exactly where it came from - only a couple of miles from Spindlestone too!

Here is my Kentish yellow earlier this afternoon.  Inner mark starts as a chartreuse type green with a golden glow above, which fades away as the inner gradually turns to golden yellow to match the receptacle. The foliage is particularly notable, with the shoots coming out golden before swiftly changing to a lovely blue green before maturing to a fresh light green colour. It was found in an old garden being batterred by the blustery winds as the tail end of Storm Imogen was going through in February 2016. It has proved quite vigorous. Photographed yesterday (Sunday), two different bulbs showing development.
