IRG is happy to formally introduce a new Galanthus cultivar from Patricia Becker in the USA and three from Krzysztof Ciesielski in Poland.

The snowdrop photos over the summer have been shown in the Southern Hemisphre threads - where the snowdrop season looks to be going well - a nice reminder of galanthus in northern climes has arrived in the form of the VRV journal today! Back in 2017, a new poculiform galanthus from Poland was described - G. nivalis 'Fairy Tail'
(IRG 88- http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2017Apr271493318724IRG88.pdf (http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2017Apr271493318724IRG88.pdf))
In International Rock Gardener 112 of April 2019, a new American 'drop, named by Patricia Becker and three more Polish snowdrops, named by Krzysztof Ciesielski, were described. That issue can be found here:

Now the journal of the Vlaamse Rotsplanten Vereniging ( VRV - Flemish Rock Garden Club - https://www.vrvforum.be/ (https://www.vrvforum.be/) ) also includes an article from the finder of those Polish snowdrops, Dr Krzysztof Ciesielski. The 'drops included are 'FairyTail' 'Forest Muse' 'Trust' and 'Wim Boens'
Great to see!

Thanks Maggi. Very interesting. The Iris article is a bit of a marathon but fantastic photography.
