Worked out where my clump of Galanthus came from. They are G. reginae-olgae and came from Bill Dijk as G. corcyrensis.

Our first 'drops of the year - Galanthus peshmenii.
Grown from seed from Rannweig Wallis back in 1999 or thereabouts.
I can't say that it has thrived here but after a single bloom last year there are 3, so that's something  :D
cheers

Cheers Dave.

Our Dryad Nursery fresh seed list containing hepatica and galanthus seeds should be ready by this evening and will be sent to all those on our email list. UK and EU only, I'm afraid.

Here 130 miles west of Tockwith, very few seed pods are ripe yet. But while Easter was warm, I don't think we have got back to those temperatures since then.
