Failing light prevented photography this evening so a written report will have to do until I manage a photograph. Looking around the garden today - at the snowdrops, what else? - I came on a double G. nivalis with green markings on the outer segments,  nothing spectacular but interesting to see it happen.

Well done, Diane, I was just coming on to suggest AbeBooks because we use them a lot... just hadn't got round to it!
Rob, I also posted a link to the publisher's s page for the book... write up etc! page or so back in this thread!!

[Maggi Young]

Michael, that's a good selection you have there. Nice photos and I'm glad to see you have cracked the trick of loading more than one at a time, makes life easier, doesn't it?

Finally a few photo`s of a drop in my garden.
I like them very much, how about you ?

Lovely length in the petals, Loes, and a great overall effect.

Goodness me Diane don't tell me you are palepink127 proud owner of a very expensive snowdrop

[Diane Whitehead]

Move over, Magnet!  Here is one that is totally pedicel and the spathe is
also snaky.

[mark smyth]

wow! what does the spathe look like?

[Paul T]

Mark,

That's the snaky thing not attached to the flower isn't it?  Looks like it has developed into what almost looks like another stem without a flower on the end.

[Maggi Young]

Diane W, I think you should pass over that wiggly one with a geiger-counter... looks a bit alien to me.... They weren't imported from anywhere near Chernobyl, were they?

No, nor am I chrisl1824 the owner of a slightly less expensive snowdrop

No, no, no.  It was the Reverend Greenfinger in the Conservatory with the twin-scaling knife.

No, no, no.  It was the Reverend Greenfinger in the Conservatory with the twin-scaling knife.
