Those are stunning Franz. Perhaps you can solve this mystery? You sent me Galanthus nivalis 'Hololeucus', but one of the bulbs produced this flower.

[Lesley Cox]

Lovely Franz, such clear strong yellows.

[hadacekf]

Thanks everybody, for the kind words about my plant. By the way, I hope I have also next year so strong colours with yellow Galanthus. I think, the soil, climate and temperature affect the colour.

Anthony,
I am sorry, that an error happened. All my Galanthus are grown in the open garden. This mystery Galanthus is a self seedling that between G. nivalis 'Hololeucus' bulbs grew. It did not flower before.

[Anthony Darby]

No need to be sorry Franz as I get two varieties instead of one. I was just curious as I haven't any nivalis like it, so it is a welcome addition.

Do you ever give a plant away and it ends up looking better than your own? I was green with envy when I saw this group of Galanthus 'Mark's Tall'

[mark smyth]

Galanthus krasnovii has now stretched up to be what may be it's full height. Thanks for the input last month. I thing I will put it in a north facing trough.

I have a small non flowering bulb which I would swap for G. platyphyllus.

[Anthony Darby]

How anyone can confuse krasnovii with any other snowdrop beats me. It is so elegant. The leaves must be about the widest in the genus?

[mark smyth]

someone argued with me today that they were woronowii because of the leaf

[loes]

it`s a pity I don`t have G.platyphyllus!

what a beautiful snowdrop is krasnovii.

Tell them not to worry about the leaf & focus on the flower, which is quite distinctive

Mark ,

You wrote re G. krasnovii :

As you said ealier :
They are rarer than hen's teeth!

And much more complicatet in culture
