So many beautiful plants in nature, Ru - thank you!

there were a couple of broken links- I have fixed those.
Magical to see the natural variation of the plants.

I take on board your comments everyone and I rather suspected that M.B.wasn't right but what is it?,it is a massive flower and has been noticed by others as standing out.I note that there are varying degrees of green markings on the sinus but if I planted them all separately I would run out of space.

John,don't be deceived by the (soil) I am on very heavy clay and what you can see is a top dressing of composted bark which I use extensively throughout the garden.Having satd that I have been improving the soil fotr the last 48 yrs.

Maggie I will be posting in HEPATICAS shortly.

Ru, I have just found 20 minutes to sit and look at all your linked photographs. What a fantastic amount of variation you have found. Can I ask over what period of time these photographs were taken? And over how many miles?

The two with solid green markings on the outers are absolutely stunning (WlUZ_QNolts.jpg and 0gQpYiDcR0I.jpg)- I am also rather drawn to what some would consider the 'ugly one' (4w16rqni8sA.jpg). And the green stripes on xTVxu3_IUg0.jpg look good. But many many of the others look very nice too.

Thank you for taking the time to document these interesting snowdrops you have seen.

It is the most interesting forms only.
26.02-1.03.2013 7-8 hours walked and looked in a day.
Attentively examined 3-5 square kilometre of mountain slopes (h=700-900m).
There yet very much many places which can be examined

That sounds more fun than my 35 hour week.

Ru - your artistic photographs are beautiful - It would light up any persons day to receive one of those as a Christmas or greetings card.

Ru, your G. plicatus wood is a magic world. Nothing less your pictures change the wood to the magic world.
