Galanthus in March 2013

[Lina Hesseling]

Thanks, Ru, for sharing this great trip with us.
I love to see the landscape too and also the habitat of the very nice snowdrops.

Today I opened my pots from winter cover because for next week weather forecast promisses that temperature will not drop below minus 10 C. Hope it really will be so, but snowdrops couldn't wait more. They bloomed below cover. Here
Galanthus transcaucasicus from Iran

The snowdrop season here is also 3-4 weeks later than usual, because of the cold. snowdrops are at just about their best now, and for the first time ever I will have snowdrops looking their best in april!

Here is one of my favourites, Sam Arnott. I had to transplant this bulb, so took the oportunity to photograph it with flowers, leaves and bulb in the evening sun as a backlight

i am slowly feeling that i may also, afterall become a galanthophile when i see such beauty! and what an unforgettable honey scent too

Our snowdrop season started early but we have had fridge-like temperatures since then and now heavy snow. If the snow stays until the weekend, as forecast, then we shall also have some nivalis still flowering in April when it melts!

Walrus can be very variable Dimitri, but I haven't seen that wonderful green before, I would be hoping it does the same this year

I think the Walrus met the Shugayster

Oh my goodness  - I had erased from my mind the horrible Chugayster- now it all comes flooding back      :

To my eye these are horrible mutations,  sick plants, both of them.

Gerard! they both grow in quiet different garden corners and never met physically nor via air
Maggi! they both appeared de novo)))))))

[Maggi Young]

Dearest Dima, I afraid I do not care if they appeared  miraculously from Heaven, borne by singing Angels - they are still horrible. 

[Oakwood]

Miraculousest Maggi! I would treat this green Heaven present as a pure fatty individuum which is so avarice to absorb the sun energy that all its parts and organs transformed into the worktops. It's rather similar to some fatso eating at night in hugger-mugger, as for me!!!  so, just mercifully spare them all!
in the meanwhile let me show some white treasures from my semi-spring or more like semi-winter garden in SE Ukraine last week-end.
