wow that's a fantastic selection of Galanthus. I see some green tips. Were the yellow plants under snow or leaves?
thanks Mark! green tips are seasonal, yellow leaves are due to snow, that also seasonal.
-
Wonderful Dimitri, I am really pleased to see G.trojanus, a lovely looking snowdrop. It helps us crazy people to see soome flowers when ours have finished for the season!
-
Thank you, Brian! Yes, now my drops are just in a final phase of flowering...
-
Hello Dimitri,
Thank you for your "super" contribution and especially for the rare Galanthus.
kind regards, Wolfgang
-
Galanthus krasnovii this Year,
Wolfgang
-
Hi Wolfgang! Thanks! And very nice krasnovii clone, is it from Artvin or Adjaria? Besides, your "G. cilicicus" turned to be G. reginae-olgae. It overwintered at me very well in leaves.
-
Hey Dimitri, fantastic pics, fantastic plants, fantastic Galanthus species. Now I know: the galanthus season ends only with flowers in Kiev, and the east border of friendly galanthophile is the Ukraine( until now). I believe in your country is the east end of G nivalis and the west end of the species, coming from the caucasus???
I never saw G. koenenianus with basal mark. But this year I found in collections plants with a basal mark too. Is this a unusual sign of only this year? Oh, I had a lot of questions to your pics.
But at first I enjoy these wonderful pics.

Hey, Hagen! Many thanks! Yes! In Ukraine we have G. nivalis on its eastern limit, G. plicatus on its northern limit and G. graecus on its most northeastern limit till Nikolaev area.
It is quite usual and typical for G. koenenianus to have two marks, it is not seasonal and this feature is indicated firstly in species description. Of course, the plants of this species with only apical mark is distributed also in culture, but it is not a rule for whole species.
So, Hagen - if you have more question - please, don't hesitate to ask me by mail or by private message option of this forum.

Thank you, John, in my snowdrop growing area - SE Ukraine - there could be +5+10C till -20C during winter, often with hard snow, but it could be any snow with -15C..... We have very hot summer till +30+40C without rains during July-August and even September.

Gosh Dmitri. :)
I must had already moved into my summer forum mode by April! Very nice flowers Dmitri. 8)
Are the yellow forms proven over a few years or could they possibly have been due to lack of sunlight for one season?
My kind regards
John

Thanks, John! glad you liked them. yes, the yellow color is seasonal phenomenon caused by warm fall 2010-winter 2011 and snowy and cool March 2011, the plants outgrowed under cover and snow, so - yellow...

What type of climate would suit Galanthus trojanus?

What type of climate would suit Galanthus trojanus?
Anthony! it grows well at me in SE Ukraine outside. This plant is of Mediterranean climate, the agrotips are similar to those of G. ikariae, elwesii, gracilis....
-
I must get some more of these Mediterranean species. I'm sure they must be grown here in New Zealand, so will keep my ears and eyes open. I have some seeds of a couple of species sown earlier, so am hopeful?

it could be, Anthony))) last spring my unique bulb didn't make seeds(((
-
I was meaning ikariae and gracilis Dmitri. I think it will be a long time before we see trojana, not least because it will have to be assessed.

Not too long for such a beautiful flower I hope. I always keep my eyes open just in case!
-
Dmitri will just have to troy and get it to increase Brian.

Hans, I think Dima has a plan... he will play his balalaika and if no-one comes out to dance to the music, the trojanus will be safe! ;) ;D ;D ;D ::)
-
Maggi ....as you know Odyseus was a very clever man ....think on the story with the sirenes ;D
-
Maggi, Hans!!! Yes! You're right, there is something inside of this trojanus :-X, something that you will know during the close a half-year! Promised! It would be a great surprise for all galanthophils!!!! UUUU-ha-haaaa (hell playing the balalaika...) :o
