Galanthus January 2012

[Brian Ellis]

"We have to move to the "new" nomenclature so this fabulous form (previously sold as merely ' caucasicus of gardens' ) falls under the elwesii monostictus catch-all.  A robust form with very wide 'blue' leaves, very bold. Often huge bulbs. Well worth its 'new' title."

A bit of an understatement

[Carolyn Walker]

After I posted a photo, people (Magggi called them train spotters) were commenting on the markings on the various flowers in my G. elwesii patch.  It was a gorgeous day today here, 60 degrees and sunny, so I thought I would photograph a representative sample.  On closer inspection almost every flower is different.  Carolyn

Carolyn, lovely pictures of your elwesii's. Isn't it fun to look at all the different marks?
Very nice web-site too!

here are a few starting to flower  in he garden today


sandersii
Primrose Warburg which is not really up and running yet
Mighty Atom

Hello Ian,

Excellent pics, I really like Sandersii and Mighty Atom.

Does Mighty Atom bulk up quickly or is it a slow grower?

Rick

Mighty Atom bulks up quite well for me.   

Thanks Ian ,I should give it a go then

[RichardW]

Mighty Atom was one of the first drops I was given & it increases very quickly here, visitors love it, I could sell it all many times over every year.

have got lots, always interested in a swap if you would like some of mine.

Great photographs Carolyn - always fun to see the variety that can be found in garden centre mixed pots.
