Snowdrops for identification, please.
« on: February 23, 2014, 01:02:12 PM »
Thought it might be good to have a thread for these puzzles.
Any ideas what this double is? I got it as Cordelia, but the inners have too much green, both inside and out. It's about 20cm high, applanate vernation. Tiny green tips on the outers.

It is indeed! Hope so -it's nice. I see I had it from you in 2012  :-* but I chipped it then, so these must have come under an assumed name. I'll compare to yours when they flower.

If Mark passed it onto you at Loughborough 2012 that is where I gave him Baylham

That's one of the most striking double snowdrops I've seen Mark. The bug is really starting to bite again. William Dyson (from Great Comp) at Goodnestone today had some nice things, including 'Modern Art' which I'd heard about but not seen before. He, and we, are hoping that we might generate more interest down in Kent in the next few years - not so many gardens with really extensive collections of snowdrops (apart from John and Carolyn Millen who have a wonderful collection, intriguing to look at closely), but there are many gardens with good plantings of these and other woodland plants.

26th February: Now thought to be G. elwesii 'Three Leaves'

Don't know first, nice though!

Comet should have a single large mark.

Don't know 3rd.

Last looks similar to what I grew as G. St Anne's.

Could the first one be G. 'Comet'?

No mark is wrong, see second image here for Comet.

http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11363.msg295617#msg295617

I've got plenty of Comet if you want it? Would happily swap it for the first, what ever it is...  ;)
