That's a fantastic display and you found some interesting and attractive 'anomalies', Olga.  How long did it take you to find all of the unusual ones and how long ago were the photographs taken?
Almost in Scotland.

Hi Olga

Great pictures of some lovely snowdrops.  Are these in flower now?  I am trying to work out just how many stems are in that fused plant!   :o   Nice green tips and poculiform.   8)

I must ask......  Why the picture of your shoe?   :D

Hi Olga,

An amazing stretch of snowdrops and a great selection of forms. Good shoe, also.

Very quickly. There was a lot of greens. And only poculiformis was one.

and how long ago were the photographs taken?

What a treat to see those woodlands with such a wonderful display of snowdrops, thank you so much for sharing them with us.  Some great forms amongst them too ;D

You should have posted it to Martin for his Galanthus breeding experiments.   ;D   ;D
