6-petaled Galanthus

[Olga Bondareva]

One bulb is with flowers of 6 petals. Is it something interesting or sometimes it happens with Galanthuses?

Olga is happens. Is it in your own garden or in the wild?

Hi Olga, may be, that the one Flower of the 6-petaled Galanthus is a mutation for only this year. It looks so, because the other flowers are normally. You should trial the plant for some years.
I have some 4-5 petaled Galanthus. they are flowering the third year with the same number of petales. I hope they will be stable.

Thanks!

Mark yes it is in garden. I've never seen such flowers before.

Hagen it would be interesting if it was the same every year.

Olga,

are there only 6 outer petales and no inners? So it`s pokuliforme. Or there are 6 outers and 6 (no seen) inners? Than its a double!
