October snowdrops

[Alan_b]

Many thanks Matt. Having read that I'd say mine is reginae-olgae.

I see at least 10 reginae-olgae on sale for every one peshmenii so statistics favour reginae olgae.

Not tried it yet here in New Zealand. My pots of seedlings of Galanthus "Heinz" seem to like it here in Auckland in so far as they produce leaves at the appropriate time of year. Still a few years off flowering. I have asked about snowdrops in garden centres, but the assistants usually glaze over as they've never heard of them.

I'm only  here for the snowdrops.

Hello, to those who remember me. I have been absent for quite a while. I have been busy with duties in the Irish Garden Plant Society and keep their website and Facebook page ticking over so little time for the SRGC, unfortunately.

It is wonderful to see all the early snowdrops while mine are only peeping above ground in pots in the glasshouse.

Good to see you Paddy.

Years ago I named a Gp RUBY'S GEBURTSTAGSBLUMEN (Ruby's flowers of birthday).
They have not only a small mark on the inners, they have a reversed heart.
And they have normally green tips on the outers. But the last years the flowers not showed the green tips.
This year all is OK again.

Next pic is a seedling of RUBY'S GEBURTSTAGSBLUMEN, shows us a slim heart, but also small green tips

Hagen, These are both terrific snowdrops. The green on the seedling seems more intense. Hats off to you on your excellent work and results.

[Hagen Engelmann]

And here is one without any green. I cannot give any magic (spell) about this flower...

[Hagen Engelmann]

If you like more green, but only at the inners

[Rick Goodenough]

Hagen, stunners both of them.  Congratulations. The white is as good as it gets and then I see the one with the deep emerald green centers and rounded outers...wow.  Are these both Galanthus peshmenii as well?

[Hagen Engelmann]

They can look so much more different...
Here increases the third generation

An interesting and broad range of colors and forms on third generation. As I understand it, these are all out of your Gp seedling named, RUBY'S GEBURTSTAGSBLUMEN.

Hagen - don't tell anyone I said this    - but those are very lovely!

[Hagen Engelmann]

  I know it Maggi - but now I can divide my feelings with you

If you like more green, but only at the inners

Absolutely lovely Hagen, so crisp and clean, super snowdrops.

Good to see you back with us Paddy.

[Paddy Tobin]

Thank you, Brian. Slowly coming back to myself and the SRGC
