Enjoying the March drops here, and Hagen, your G.'RÜSCH'L JÖ' is quite unique and appealing to my eye. Can you share any history on its origins?

Thank you for the garden views with snowdrops, it is so nice to see them when here everything is still covered by snow.

[Maggi Young]

A most unusual 'drop find by Ian Christie which will be watched very closely in future years , I do not doubt!

Ian Christie‎ writes :
 
"My latest find this is -  a hybrid G. nivalis x G. plicatus the main flower is single and the lower flower on the same stem is double Matt Bishop has seen this."

 Matt Bishop comments :  "Possibly the strangest snowdrop ever!!"

 


 N.B. Don't  get overexcited - it is NOT for sale!

[Maggi Young]

Another shot of the  confused snowdrop .... the two stems leaning together.
