It's still winter, so here are a few more snowdrops!
1) Galanthus rizehensis (or maybe woronowii?)
2) a seedling with pale green marks on the exterior of the outer petals
3-5) Galanthus 'Lady Beatrix Stanley'
cheers

Last week at Ferny Creek Hort Society we held a "Buy Swap Sell". One of the vendors, Craig Gardiner, specialises in South African Bulbs, especially Oxalis. Here's a pic of one of his trays
