Galanthus February 24
Leena:
Very nice snowdrops! :)
'Lady Putnam' looks good, and 'Golden Fleece' is unique :), no wonder it was so expensive when it first came in the market.
All snowdrops grow so well in your garden Mariette. :) 'Green Eyes' has nice plump flowers.
'Colossus' is also here early, usually flowering inside the snow when it melts. One year it got damaged by cold and it hasn't increased well, but is still alive and flowering (at least was last spring).
I like how it stands tall.
Mariette:
Not all snowdrops do well in my garden, Leena - for instance, ´Godfrey Owen´hardly flowers or increases, with ´E.A. Bowles´ it´s the same, though it flowers regularly. On sandy soils these varieties grow like mad, yet obviously dislike my heavy, wet soil.

A very interesting snowdrop, even if I find the yellow on the snowdrop a bit strange. The yellow looks a bit unhealthy to me.
Mariette:
Snowdrops with yellow receptacles are my favourites, as they provide an illusion of sunshine on a dull and rainy day like this, so often met with here at this time of the year. There are varieties which look sicklish to me, like ´Carolyn Elwes´with its yellowish tinged greyish leaves. "Yellow" snowdrops with green leaves have a much fresher look, like ´Golden Fleece´and ´Wendy´s Gold´, for instance. Therefore, I was happy when I noticed a yellow G. woronowii - seedling in my garden. :)

Is the intensity of the yellow colour influenced by light?
