Some nice snowdrops for the autumn.
Hagen, 'Weisse Adventsperlen' is the most beautiful  flower, thank you for posting  it.

Hagen, very elegant peshmenii!

Last year I discovered this poc form among my Reginae Olgae seedlings. As it flowered for the first time last year I was exited to see if it was stable, and luckily it seems so.
And it has made an offset, so I can make one of the forum members happy next year. (The lucky one knows who).

Good to see your snowdrop is stable Poul, and increasing! 

Hagen the inners of your 'Weisse Adventsperlen' are amazing I love the stripes, and yes I suppose you could say it is Rainbow Farm Late  ;D

over the years my joy to the autumn ones increased into a deep love.
Actually I have a small date in the greenhouse every day.
But in the weekend I have to give all.
I had to learn these lovely little differences in time of blooming.

WEISSE ADVENTSPERLEN is one of my favorits, Brian. The inners are looking a little bit like FEINRIPP  ;)

Galanthus Reginae Olgae has come into flower in this tub, picking up from where the Cyclamen Intaminatum left off.

The season is well under way now! This morning G. koenenianus x fosterii, a hybrid from Anne Wright at Dryad Nursery and G. elwesii Hughes Emerald broke surface!
The morning patrol has some zest  ;D

I haven't heard of either of those before, Ingrid.  Should I add them to my pre-Xmas flowering list?  Is the hybrid outside or growing under glass?

G. elwesii ''Hughes Emerald'  or 'Emerald Hughes' has been  mentioned quite often in the Forum - it originates "down under" ...
 most recent mention and photo here : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=13339.msg338077#msg338077

While many internet results are available for the 'Hughes Emerald' name, there are others, including from Lesley here, of 'Emerald Hughes'  http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12056.msg309409#msg309409 - I  think that the latter name is correct, since that is the one used by  the Blue Mountain Nursery, where it originated.

Thank you Ingrid and Maggi, but is either of them supposed to be early-flowering or are they just going to sit there showing their noses to Ingrid until February?
