Title: Galanthus nivalis ' Fairy Tail'
Post by: Maggi Young on September 17, 2017, 04:03:38 PM

Galanthus nivalis 'Fairy Tail'  was found by  "cephalotus" of this forum - Krzysztof Ciesielski  - and, having been shown previously in the forum, was formally named in the April 2017 issue of IRG .
Now Johan Mens has shown - on Facebook - another Galanthus nivalis which he is calling  "Fairy Tails"  - it's a cute name
but could be confused with galanthus nivalis white poculiform 'Fairy Tail' formally described by  in International Rock Gardener e-magazine 88 -  http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2017Apr271493318724IRG88.pdf (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2017Apr271493318724IRG88.pdf)

Surely Johan will change the name when he finds out?

Johan Mens has made the sensible and excellent decision to change the  name of his  new 'drop to 
Galanthus nivalis scharlockii 'Fairy Tails Flair'
