Galanthus November and December 2007
mark smyth:
This snowdrop reginae-olgae 'Sophia' has only just emerged in the last couple of days. I'm not sure it should have been named
snowdropman:
Mark - be patient with this one, maybe it needs a while to settle down in your garden - I think the 'Snowdrops' book is spot on when it describes 'Sofia' as a "magnicent clone" - it is certainly one of my favourites.
Mine are in their second year and, with very upright tall scape & large, quite heavy looking, flowers, they have been flowering now for 3 weeks and still look superb - added bonus this year is that several bulbs have also thrown up twin scapes.
snowdropman:
Mark - looking at your photo again, I have to say that I would not immediately recognise it as g. reginae-olgae subsp. reginae-olgae 'Sofia' - I note also that you are spelling it 'Sophia' - is it possible that what you have is not the correct snowdrop?
mark smyth:
I didnt check the label. I have had it almost two years now and it has flowered for the first time

'Peter Gatehouse' a lovely pre Christmas flowerer, as in mid to late December, is days away from opening
