Galanthus in March 2013

[mark smyth]

My Mini Me, 10cm, looks great in a trough. Some are in a pot in the green house so I can find them when they get chipped.

My tiny, 10cm, unnamed green tipped nivalis is a bit lost in the garden

This is my tiny green tipped nivalis. I'll measure the flowers later. This is a tiny plant with tiny flowers also

The season here is coming to an end.   

The next 14 days are likely to see my final snowdrops pictures for this season - here are a few pics from my little patch today.

1 - 'Priscilla Bacon'.

2 - 'Pear Drop' (wonderful scent).

3 - This drop was purchased from the 'Snowdrop Co' in 2008 as Fieldgate Superb (Which it isn't.... - but I kept it as it is a well performing yellow).

4 - 'Amy Doncaster'

[KentGardener]

A few more from the garden today.
 
1 - 'Fanny'

2 - Hagen's beautiful memorial snowdrop - 'Till Sonnenschein'

3 - Many will know that I have a soft spot for 'spikies' - and this is one that was given to me by a kind lurker: 'Mrs Tiggywinkle'  (still only young here so, for future reference, might not be true to form).

4 - One of Davey's early finds that he named after his partner:  'Samantha' 

[KentGardener]

And the last few from today before I sign off.

1 - Another of the wonderful German drops making it's way to the UK - 'Federkleid'

2 - Following on from Hagen's pictures. The cream colour tint on the outer petals has faded on this flower - but 'I' can still notice the pastel sheen on the inners.  'Das Gelbe Von El'

3 - Looking even nicer every time I glance upon it.  'Angelina'

[Hagen Engelmann]

John, some German Gems are in best hands .

[steve owen]

Received two snowdrops by post to day from North Green Snowdrops. They had the best developed root systems I have ever found on acquired snowdrops. So take a bow John Morley.

[Hagen Engelmann]

A little heartbreaker,
it is no virescens but funny and garden worth!
It is not ANGELINA but is "our" LITTLE ANGIE.

[Hagen Engelmann]

HONIGMUND - lips full of honey.
The color of the apical mark changes from green to yellow brown(honey).
You can see three different moments of coloring. A big and fine plant.
