Though there were more tulips and narcissi in the Show Hall this week I will have no choice but to show some snowdrops as this is the time of year to show them ;D
There were several entries but most of them were just placed close to the windows and very difficult to make pictures against the light.
I show just a few
 
Galanthus Bertram Anderson                             

Galanthus plicatus Beth Chatto  (This was acquired before 2005 from B. Chatto nursery and might be the true thing?)
Galanthus Beth Chatto cl                               
Galanthus Imbolc                                       
Galanthus Ivycroft Cottage Corporal   (see name query in the Galanthus thread)     
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

And such a beautiful colour, almost as good as those white things ;)

Luit according to Joe Sharman
"Beth Chatto should have a perfect hour glass inner mark that is never two marks"  or, as the monograph puts it:

marking covering apical 7/8 of segment, a basal triangle narrowly joined in middle to an apical V with expanded, rounded arm-ends

Gymnospermium albertii

Such specimens (G. alberti, G. altaicum) I have from more than 10-15 years old tubers which didn't fit in my largest pots (15x15x20 cm) - so those I'm planting free in raised beds of greenhouse.

Brian, I was allowed last week to pick one flower to take home for a foto and I took one of the smaller flowers, I did not want to ruin the show pot and so had a young and unripe flower. The grower told me that all flowers were the same on the plant, just the small flower I picked had no chance to develope better.
Here is a flower he brought me Monday. What do you think now?

Rhodohypoxis 
   These have obviously more possibilities than known by most people.
   Here they are shown in excellent selling quality in Mid February.

Wow!  8)   Must show this to Ian. ;)



Narcissus Sherwood Forest is the right variety to have for the Nottingham Conference, eh?

Tulipa West Frisian Beauty is delightful.

It seems to fit the description alright Luit, but I think someone like Matt should say if it is correct or not, I am just an enthusiast ;)
