Galanthus / Re: Black Sea Snowdrops 2024

I've also seen platyphyllus on a trip with Kurt Vickery to Georgia and thought it was fabulous.  I wonder if someone could collect from anthers from it, dry them, and then use them for hybridization or pass them onto a hybridizer.  Most pollen will survived dried and stored in a freezer.  Lily breeders do this all the time.

Thank you Ashley and Stefan, I'm happy you enjoyed it even though I only spoke Finnish.
The snowdrops which were still flowering were not up early when the bad weather came again.
I thought cold is now over, but today the forecast said it will be again 7 degrees colder than usual next week and even snow one night!
And it is May.

Close to the end of the video I showed a double snowdrop, possibly a seedling.
In that side of the bed I have never planted any double snowdrops though I have several close by (Flore Pleno, Barbara's Double, Flocon de Neige, and across the path Ailwyn).
In that spot I had 'E.A.Bowles' which sadly vanished one winter, but it had produced self sown seedlings which I showed. They are all single plicatus two earlier flowering ones and one later.
This double has also some plicate leaves.
My question is, is there a named double snowdrop like this (which I haven't bought but perhaps I had gotten the wrong plant, though I really don't think I have planted anything just there), or could this be a seedling from 'E.A.Bowles'?

Estudio del las orquídeas silvestres del sistema ibérico, 754p. A whole flora dedicated to the orchids of Spain.
No doubt the best book edited on the subject, with many infos about pollinating insects, maps, seeds structure, etc.

Alpines / Re: Crevice Gardening ......in defence of rock.....

Ann & Bob Armstrong of Woodlands Garden are becoming more & more interested in alpines.  They have over the winter created a crevice bed outside the conservatory. Photos of the bare crevice bed & with plants positioned ready to be planted(squeezed in place).
