Jeffnz:
Plicatus plenus is the only double I have seen for sale here.
Our garden conditions are not really suited to growing galanthus, very wet winters and hot dry summer.
I have obtained seed from a couple of kind donors and will look to see what plants do return each season, definitely need to water over summer, I think that elwesii hybrids will, be my best choice.

Our garden gets most of its rain in the winter though recently we've had summer rain as well.
I've found that Galanthus elwesii grow relatively well and have self-seeded in places.
This little colony grows in the middle of the rock garden in full sun without artificial watering except in the driest summers if other plants are at risk,

A few other pics from the weekend:
1) (Pseudo)muscari inconstrictum
2) yellow hoops in the garden
3) A rain-soaked Narcissus romieuxii type
4) Possibly Galanthus plicatus
