 Is this a Canadian 'drop, Mark?   

What is the difference  between this and, say, 'Don Armstrong' ?  ( Pocs rather hard to tell apart, eh? )

A friend of mine gave me 2 different snowdrops last summer and one of them is blooming. I thought it was G. regiae-olgae as I posted here on 12th Nov.

A very normal Galanthus reginae-olgae This is the earliest snowdrop here in this season.

Then leaves are now appearing and I think it’s G. elwesii var. monostictus. Am I right?

[Matt T]

Hi Tatsuo,
Those leaves are definitely not G. reginae olgae. Your ID is correct.


It's a strange season here - I have some G.r-o not yet showing whilst some spring cultivars ('Atkinsii' and 'Lapwing') are already pushing up noses.

Thank you, Matt A strange season here too. Many bulbs grow much earlier than usual.

john - +15c and tallying 4" of rain by the end of this tropical blow, I'm afraid it's likely headed your way.
