The noses of reginae-olgae 'Cambridge' have just now surfaced here.  It is so strange they have taken so long as the weather was perfect for a much earlier emergence - long warm dry summer, heavy rains  - 12" - that thoroughly soaked the soil by the third week of September with a tad of hand watering a week before the rains started.   So a month later they appear and maybe they will flower earlier than last year, that was just before Xmas 2011.

After a cold night the tree in front of our house lost nearly all leaves. After collecting some leaves I found the G. elwesii ssp. monostictus undamaged. They now appear at different places in the garden.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum, far from being collector but more and more intrigued by snowdrop forms. I received these 2 years ago from a fellow member of our local perennial society as G. peshmenii, but am not absolutely sure as they already showed some leaf tips when starting to flower. Leaves are entirely glaucous, without the reginae-olgae middle stripes. The pictures are from 2 weeks ago, now there is only a last one flowering.
Any way I liked the one with the pagoda form which is stable in this one bulb, although the green tips appeared this year for the first time.
Elwesii hiemalis and reginae-olgae (in the open garden) still don't show any signs of life - r.o. often was in bloom together with the last Cyclamen hederifolium which are almost over now. Hope they survived

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, Danke - any idea about the peshmenii identity? - seems it's very variable as I see in the previous posts.
