The last picture is a bit of a mystery - is it likely to be a form of reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis? Those intensely glaucous leaves really stand out.
I too am a great fan of the foliage of some of the drops, to my mind they really complement the flowers. In fact the foliage of woronowii probably is more significant than the flowers.The last picture looks very much like reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis - at least what I grow as this. It does have a very interesting sheen on the leaves, particular noticeable on overcast days, it is difficult to describe (and impossible to photograph) but it appears to be almost reflective. It also reminds me of pewter - not quite sure why??? . Again the leaves are quite a feature in some (low) light levels.Chris
Rimmer - your first snowdrop looks like G. elwesii 'Ransom's Dwarf' to me - see picture below.
Thank. You TimToday all the snow melted, up to 7 inches worth, and the snow drops popped out all over.
Rimmer, I should point out that it is only possibly 'Ransoms Dwarf' if you know you once bought and grew 'Ransoms Dwarf' but lost the label.
