Galanthus - October 2015
« on: October 02, 2015, 12:49:31 PM »
Here is 'Naomi Slade', a new G. reginae-olgae from Joe Sharman.  Its USP is that it is particularly early and this one opened a few days ago (and so could have made 'September' if I had been less tardy in taking a photograph).  I don't have many  reginae-olgae as I find that they tend to diminish after a few years in the same spot but this one has flowered ahead of any of my others.
Almost in Scotland.

Nice to know it is so early....a beauty as another perk to this Naomi Slade namesake.

First of October our galanthus season started with this small but fine beauty.
Now we will have months of joy.

Shocked to receive these in the post. If I had known they were bulbils I wouldn't have bought them . Very reputable seller but I haven't bought from them before. I should have photographed all that were supplied. They were all bulbils

A very nice cilicicus Steve.
Here peshmenii is flowering under glass and one clone of reginae-olgae has started in the garden but no sign of cilicicus yet.

That really isn't on is it, no doubt you were charged as if they were flowering size bulbs. What a rip-off.

It may be deformed but I now have a green tipped reginae-olgae 'Ruby Baker'. I had to buy!! another in flower this time last year so I could get one. My previous purchase, now 4, have very little or no green tips

Gorgeous, isn't it? And in 2013 it was only one bulb - Anne chipped it and now in 2015 there were 19 flowers in the pot!!!!!
