Does the pink show better with a white card behind the flower?

Post by: mark smyth on September 25, 2016, 01:42:39 PM: shocked to find a bulb of reginae-olgae 'Cambridge' in flower today

Post by: Matt T on September 26, 2016, 02:49:07 PM: A nice find to come home to are these Galanthus reginae-olgae. No idea if they have a collection number or name as they came from an SRGC sales table a few years ago just labelled as Gr-o. Neither are they pink, but they are reliably my earliest blooming 'drops.
