So give them a cold place outside with a lot of frost. So they cannot come out, because the ground is frozen. Then all galanthus will bloom at the same time - your spring time!!!

In Uwe's picture, the green area on the outer petals is somewhat shrunken compared to the white part of the petal.  One sometimes sees this on snowdrops with green markings on the outer petals although by no means in every case.  I'm just wondering if there is a technical term to describe this feature?

Melvyn, I think Reg Olg Eleni is one of the better Reg Olg's, with good strong large flowers.
Remember Remember is one of my favourites, large flowers. And a tall snowdrop.
