I'm not expecting those I had in a trough to still exist as they flowered in January and I saw no leaves. Those in the bulb house are yet to appear. G. reginae-olgae 'Tilebarn Jamie' is out.

Not only do I have 4 peshmenii I have 10. Something major has happened between last year and now. I think there were only 3 or 4 last year.

G. reginae-olgae 'Tilebarn Jamie' is out.

Mine haven't put in an appearance yet.  :(  I hope they are OK as they were quite a large clump (well large for my little garden anyway  :D)

Here's a comparison between (my only) 'Tilebarn Jamie' and my first reginae-olgae of the season. Both in the bulb house. My first outside one is just above the soil today.

Very impressive pics!!! Could somebody tell me, excepting GRO and G. peshmenii, does it exist any fall-flowering snowdrop species yet?? I know Janis has G. transcaucasicus "November Snow", it's all...
Thanks!
