Roma does your plicatus, 04 Galanthus plicatus IMG_0071.JPG, have green leaves?

Roma - Great group of shots.  I'm quite surprised corcyrensis is doing so well in your climate and am happy to see platyphyllus doing so well.

Someone at work had just heard about my interest in snowdrops and emailed this picture of her dressed as one many years ago.   :D

The main bulk of the flowers in my little garden have been and gone for 2011 - a few are still looking good - but luckily a lot of the virescent ones are only just putting in an appearance so will keep me ticking over for a few more weeks.   8)

1 - sandersii, the last flower hanging in there
2 - 'sandhill gate' - later than usual this year
3 - 'Kildare'
4 - 'Jessica'
5 - 'Hugh MacKenzie' (photos don't do justice to just how nice this flower is - I loved it last year and now this year it is in my top 5!)

A few from my garden today. It looks as if John beat me to 'Sandhill Gate' so I have included a couple more pocs to make up for it  :) I have also included a 'yellow' named as 'Sharman's Late'. It's anyone's guess as to whether this applies to the time of the season it flowers or Joe's timekeeping. I suspect a little of both!

1 - Sharman's Late
2 - Mark Solomon
3 - Mark Solomon
4 - Henry's White Lady
5 - Sandhill Gate
6 - Sandhill Gate

No, Mark.  It has been flowering for a while and the leaves are not as glaucus as they were.  The sun shining on them maybe has something to do with it as well.  I did have a green leaved plicatus in a pot but I think I may have lost it.

Love it, and the comment.  Will have to search for this one I take it that it is not generally available?

Brian, I don't believe that it's generally available. It was a kind gift from a fellow forum member. I got it last year when the flower was over and so this is the first time it has flowered for me. I've no idea as to whether it will appear in the next edition of Snowdrops but it is a nice late yellow and makes a change from the glut of virescents in flower now. That's not to say that I don't like them but I was struggling to find something different to show  ;)

A slightly better (I hope) pic of the nice seedling that escaped last year's chipping frenzy. It's a plicatus x gracilis (as are many of my earlier seed raisings) which I find is almost always a good combination. The clump has now recovered a bit from being lifted from the garden and shoved into a pot.

John, KILDARE isn`t open yet here, but I love this noble size of flower. And I love the colour gradient of the inners too. One of my most lovely galanthus.

David, never heard about SHARMAN`S LATE, but looks good. It has a long flower... and with a very late time of flowering.....

Gerard, could you tell us  a little bit more about WINDMILL. Must be a Dutch cultivar....

Martin, that is a very nice snowdrop - well shaped flowers very elegantly supported. Not surprised you're pleased with it.
