Maggi,
the "stippling" on the inside of the petals is more of a concern :'(
Here are a few more in our garden
1) Massonia citrina (thanks, Paul & Colin)
2) Moraea polystachya
3) Cyclamen persicum
4) Iris 'Harmony'
5) Massonia pustulata
cheers

I was so busy admiring the outers I didn't spot that - I see what you mean - looks like virus.

Post by: Jupiter on July 30, 2020, 01:52:31 AM: Errghh.. virus. don't talk to me about virus. I'm seeing a bit of it around this year, and yes I am talking about the plant ones! A couple of Galanthus have it, especially my Primrose Warburg, which had it from the start, but looks horrible this year. From my reading most people just live with virused Galanthus and it doesn't seem to spread... ?
