It looks like elwesii 'Cedric's Prolific' to me Ralph.The second one is 'Mrs Thompson'.

Steve, very grateful for the IDs - I hate not knowing what I'm enjoying looking at! I have a few more lost label clumps; maybe you or somebody else can help ID these. Here is clump one; flowering at 22cm high, grey-green leaves, 14cm long/1cm wide.

A wonderful range of snowdrops, John.
I think we were all missing your posts!

And Green Light has managed two scapes as well, is this usual Alan ?

No, it has never done that for me in 11 seasons since it was found.  Nor two flowers on the same scape.  Nor green marks on the outers as extensive as in your pictures.  You must have it on steroids!

And welcome back to the forum, John.  Everyone has been asking after you (and Jennie also).

  Good to see you back John - have missed Kent Gardeners Diary

[Lina Hesseling]

 Great pictures, John!
And yes, we miss your great blog.

It must be very hard when work is so demanding. I hope better times will come soon.

Tilly, Trym x gracilis, is taking a long time to hatch. I hope she doesn't get stuck!

I feed it on spicy Moroccan lamb of course Alan.

Beautiful snowdrop Mark, I used to have a spaniel called Tilly, its obviously one for me to look out for.

And John, great clump of Southayes.  It sounds like you need to twin scale yourself so you can be in lots of places at the same time 

[Mavers]

Good to see your new post John.

I do not remember ever seeing so many Southayes in one picture, amazing.
