Title: Galanthus, Leucojum & Eranthis - new in the near future or 'in the pipeline'
Post by: mark smyth on October 21, 2014, 12:19:37 PM: some bulbs to look forward to

I've been told it will be a while before most will be commercially available because they have been twinscaled a few times. A few might be available on ebay in February

Post by: snowdropcollector on October 21, 2014, 03:06:01 PM: Mark, thank you for showing those pictures, lovely snowdrops. Plicatus Bumblebee looks very good, great markings :o.
As John, same question from me. Please tell us a bit about their background.
If I am correct, Niv Green Zebra is one recently released by Joe Sharman. It is found by M.Dreisvogt in Slovenia.

Post by: Maggi Young on October 21, 2014, 04:56:11 PM: I believe this is another "new" 'drop - the photo is by Naomi Slade - author of the recent Snowdrop book (The Plant Lover's Guide to Snowdrops by Naomi Slade http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10946.msg314432#msg314432 (http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=10946.msg314432#msg314432) )

Naomi has "Tweeted" this photo on her Twitter page, saying :
"May I present Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Naomi Slade'. So thrilled! Big thanks to Joe Sharman at Monksilver Nursery."

Post by: Hagen Engelmann on October 21, 2014, 05:37:39 PM: Maggie, you wrote another. It is only another?
May be, Naomi is a very very big person, but looks only very normal.
Hm

Not quite sure what you mean, Hagen?

Edit: Thinking about this - you mean that snowdrop seems average for R-o ?

Post by: johnw on October 21, 2014, 10:48:48 PM: snowdropcollector - I understand the last 3 snowdrops - G. gracilis "best orange", G. nivalis 'Green Zebra', G. plicatus 'Bumble Bee - are Sharman's.

Post by: David Nicholson on October 22, 2014, 08:28:43 AM: What was wrong with the "October Snowdrops" thread and why mix up Galanthus and Leucojum ???
Title: Re: Galanthus, Leucojum & Eranthis - new in the near future or 'in the pipeline'
Post by: Alan_b on October 22, 2014, 08:45:48 AM: Well, David, with the probable exception of 'Naomi Slade', none of these snowdrops are in flower. What we seem to be getting is some early publicity for Joe Sharman's sales list.

Post by: Hagen Engelmann on October 22, 2014, 02:39:16 PM: Yes Maggi, I meant, NAOMI SLADE, the galanthus, looks very average (the picture looks so). Worth to give this name?
But a pic mostly says nothing about the size of a flower. The flower can be huge.

Hm

it flowers reliably third week of September
Title: Re: Galanthus, Leucojum & Eranthis - new in the near future or 'in the pipeline'
Post by: WimB on October 22, 2014, 07:33:24 PM: Eranthis h. 'Steffi' is a wonderful find, but has only been discovered in the beginning of this year so it might take a few years before it is for sale...

Love the Leucojum too...but 'Nuell Punkte' is correctly ‘Nüll Punkte’
Title: Re: Galanthus, Leucojum & Eranthis - new in the near future or 'in the pipeline'
Post by: Maggi Young on October 23, 2014, 09:24:09 AM: As Mark has indicated - it may be some years before most of these plants are available to buy.
It is, I hope, nonetheless exciting to be able to see what developments are coming along from Joe Sharman's plant breeding programme.

Thanks to Joe and Mark for letting us enjoy the photos.

I am delighted to learn that the cross made by Joe (between 'E.A.Bowles' x poculiform) which has the name 'David Quinton' (in memory of that very sadly missed galanthophile and member of this forum) indeed has as large a flower as the photo suggests. It's not the best photo, but even a less than perfect portrait photo can give a good idea of a fitting tribute to a lost friend !

Post by: emma T on October 23, 2014, 05:47:07 PM: I'm sure 'David Quinton' will be a treasured reminder of a friend still missed :'(
