Another new introduction performing in the garden today, G. Ristpart, (Shelduck) in Estonian and part of the 'Estonian Birds Group'. A lovely double from Anne Wright and Dryad Nursery, originally from Taavi Tuulik.



Great to see some new doubles from a first class supplier.

Superb  drop! 😊 Do you hold a National Collection of Galanthus now Ingrid? You seem to have so many varieties not in general circulation yet. Sorry for my ignorance if you do but I've been away from social media and the forum for a few years after being viciously, anonymously trolled about my opinions on all things Galanthus.

We  in the  SRGC Web Team are  well aware  of the  amount  of  extremely  unpleasant  comments  that may be  found  on social media  platforms, particularly  it  seems  in the  snowdrop world - rest  assured that  any  such nastiness  will not  be  tolerated  here  and  such comments  and the  authors will be  removed

It reminds me of 'Cutie-Pie'; is it another nivalis?
Sorry Alan, I missed that comment.  Yes I am told it is a nivalis.

Always good to have some idea of how these new ones perform in the garden.

Well I hope I don't get 'drummed out of the brownies' by asking if you are growing it in the garden Ingrid - or just in the pot like this looks to be.

From Richard Bashford a delightful snowdrop named 'Moonshine' where the scape and pedicel are decidedly paler than the receptacle.  Most unusual and not seen on other threads.
Another one from Richard Bashford for my wish-list after ´Sabine´, kindly shown by Maggi here!
I really do appreciate such pics which give an idea what a group of snowdrops will look in the garden, as a harmonious relation between flowers and leaves is an important criterion.

Some  unusual new  introductions  made  this  week at  Shaftesbury .... Galanthus cutlerii  ;)

 They are  quite  tall  at 26.5 cm and 28cm - and  seem very  robust!  8) :-X





Countryfile the  TV programme  was  filming  at Shaftesbury  before the  Snowdrop Study  Day  and  I think that will be  shown on 23rd February.

Recently seen on eBay from the amazing hybridizer Joe Sharman of Monksilver Nursery:

Quote
The first double poculiform. Once I realised I knew enough about snowdrop breeding to create doubles to order I started the process of creating the double poculiform. This was my first result. Huge fat flowers in bud with many almost white petals. The amount of green varies from year to year but is far less than in any other double. The flowers go on expanding to become huge. A short but very vigorous and free-flowering plant.
