I don't grow 'Daphne's Scissors' myself but according to the Judy's Snowdrops web site some green tipping on the outers is normal http://www.judyssnowdrops.co.uk/Plant_Profiles/Elwesii/daphnes_scissors/daphnes_scissors.htm .  I agree the green looks much more pronounced in your later pictures than in Janet's picture.  Some snowdrops need to be 'settled' to produce their best green tips.

Still a bit early for snowdrops here at 300m up in N Wales. 'Atkinsii' in bud and a few rather sulky Cyclamen coum out, plus one very early Narcissus cyclamineus on the way. Really enjoying everyone else's snowdrop displays, keep them coming as I'm looking forward to spring!

A Galanthus elwesii which I am naming 'Pisces' because of it's fish-like inner marking (and better than Dean's Decapitated Fish!) It blooms from Christmas onwards and is at it's peak now - good value for the first weeks of January. These are photo's from last year but are representative of how it looks today. It has been passed on to several friends.  :)

Nice one , Dean - and  long lasting in flower- which is even better!  Plus 'Pisces ' must be a winner in this weather - it's STILL raining  here!

A nicely shaped flower and good colour to an attractively waisted inner marking. I like it.

G. elwesii 'Dean's Decapitated Fish' would have been fun!  ;D

It looks good - even in the rain.

Lots of snowdrops out now; we're off to Canada tomorrow for two and a half weeks so will probably miss some. Here's G. elwesii 'Comet' showing green tips. Is this common?

Have a good trip, Ralph -  hope there are still flowers out for you to enjoy later.

Green marks on the tips are fairly common, Ralph, but vary a lot - often only some fine lines, sometimes green tips.
Hope you have a great time in Canada and your drops will wait for you.

G. 'Sutton Courtenay' amazes me: One bulb planted in the summer of 2014 and today there are 15 flowers. The bulb (from Wol and Sue Staines) must have produced multiple divisions.
