Galanthus - March 2015

[RichardW]

Why is it as soon as we close the weather is always great 

Having a nice time doing lots of lifting/splitting which I've not done for a few years. My weird & quite ugly find from a few years ago, it throws up flowers before the leaves, foliage is short and about as attractive as the flowers....

Don't think it has a lot going for it, but it's different!

Maggie, thanks for this link. Not only an interesting article about Hagen's discoveries but an equally interesting article about Eranthis. I didn't know about Eranthis Smut. Interesting that there is a spraying antidote.

I think they are about 4 -5 inches down Cyril

Thanks for that Cyril, it is little tips like these that are invaluable

Thanks Chas.  That's fairly deep.  Confirms what Margaret had said.

Fantastic virescent clone Hagen.  I have only just seen Maggi's link to the article.  Look forward to reading it soon.

Goodness me, Cyril, does this mean that you haven't read other issues of IRG,  such as the January 2015 issue with  Janis Ruksans' descriptions of several  new crocus species?

Falling behind.  Must catch up.

A few pictures from what will, I suspect, be our last snowdrop garden visit this year including a nice clump of Primrose Warburg.
