Mariette:
The New Year starts with snow, ´Wendy´s Gold´doesn´t mind.



´Mrs. Macnamara´on the left hasn´t yet opened its buds, the small clump to the right has bigger flowers and is always a bit earlier.
Maybe a seedling?

Leena:
Mariette, it is nice to see how your snowdrop season has started. :)
Here my 'Mrs Macnamara' was just showing its nose before New Year, now all are covered by snow and ground is frozen.
Finding nice seedlings is one of the best things and it is always exciting to see how they turn out. :)

Galanthus 'Colossus'

ielaba2011:

These were some of the snowdrops in flower in my garden right before Christmas, and they still have some flowers now in January - yet a bit damaged by the rain:

'Godfrey Owen' no need to say which one it is - very distinctive flower shape, here in the garden it bulks up really fast, I started with one bulb and I was already able to plant it in more places in the open garden. I love this snowdrop.

the other one is 'Colossus' - in the same year, I bought it from the UK, a single bulb... It loves the light and  sunny conditions, grows up really tall and lots of new bulbs in just few years ...a good doer.

More G. nivalis are starting to apear in the garden, let's see how they do in this very mild year here in the south.

Happy New gardening year to all in the forum.

Stefan B.:
This winter, I have snow in my garden since Christmas, that's good but... I want to enjoy my snowdrops too. This week I hope that will happen. :)



Thanks Leena for these lovely ones "bambini"! They appeared from the ground already in December.
