The croci warm my heart - wunderful!
I hope that some rarer cultivated stocks like Saturnus, Moonlight, White Beauty may have their renaissance soon?

May be for Scots o.k., but my old bones really prefer the sun  :D :D :D

The same grey day again today, and Crocus don't open their flowers  ::) ::)

I rather like that Crocus chrysanthus 'Constellation', very attractive markings, but tell me Luit, what is the purpose of exhibiting a mixed vase of Galanthus?

Well Brian, such response I could expect from you …..of course  ::)
Maybe the exhibitor  wanted to show how much diversity in white there is ??
Like in the way of a "Rhapsody in Blue"  :P :P  :P
