Yes i know they are nivalis, but wich kind of nivalis do they look like Mark? Especially the one with the tiny mark on the inner petal, and the one with the dark green mark also on the inner petal.

Gerard they can look like another named nivalis but they cant be that one. The middle and last one look within the range that I have seen in gardens but the top one is the most interesting. It looks like Sally Wikenden but isnt fat enough

Mark what do you think of the last picture, you might not have noticed that the outer petals are going upwards when they get into fullflow.

yes I noticed. Quite a few snowdrops raise they outers above the horizontal such as 'Mandarin' and 'Pagoda'.

When snowies raise their outers above the horizontal, do they not usually do so right from the ovary? I discern a small difference in Gerard's since there is a dip then a bend to the raise. Perhaps this is Gerard's point?
Gerard, visit Mark's website, the link is by his signature and under his avatar...he has lots and lots and lots..... of snowdrop photos!
Oh, he just told you this!
