Galanthus - July 2015
« on: July 06, 2015, 10:56:14 AM »
The oldest seedlings here are three years old. The bright green ones with the purple label are reginae-olgae from Sicily, and are up for their second season.

Fermi , I am amazed how well you can grow snowdrops in your hot and arid climate . Gal . 'Lady Beatrix Stanley ' together with 'Lavinia' was one of the first doubles I imported from England over 45 years ago - and now they have multiplied to many thousands .
here are a few taken today in my garden - almost freezing temperatures and brilliant sunshine today . A few not so widely grown in gardens here in Australia .

    G. 'Heffalump'
    G. rizehensis
    G.'Lady B. Stanley'

Wonderful Otto! You've done very well with the camera considering you would have been shivering from the cold! I'm editing a photo I took of Galanthus nivalis "Sam Arnott" to hang on the wall in our lounge. It will be printed 100cm wide! I can't wait.

Fermi your pics are excellent also. Your lady beatirix stanley is luscious and that "comet" is very nice. The shape looks a bit like Merlin, do you think?

I'm being very picky, Otto, but it's "Rosemary Burnham" and not "Rosemarie".  This mistake does crop-up occasionally as in the URL here http://galanthus-online.de/kultivare-p-z/rosemarie-burnham.html although the information on the page is correct.

Lovely to see them Otto, and good that you have Megan growing well.  One that I know can be tricky, it suits your conditions!

Danke fuer das Kompliment Hagen -aber ein Zauberkuenstler bin ich bestimmt nicht . Circa 80 verschiedene Arten und cultivars sind zur Zeit in Bluete in meinem Garten . In Europa/England mehr als tausend ?

Jamus , diese Ueberraschung ! Du sprichst Deutsch und noch dazu ein ausgezeichnetes . War es ein Universitaets Studium ?

     your Oxalis is in perfect condition to be shown - but the correct name is O. hirta  versicolour and NOT O. massoniana  versicolour .

Otto, I tricked you! I don't speak German at all, Google does.  ;)

Thanks for the correction on the Oxalis name. I will update my list so I have it right.
