Looks great, Hagen.
Is there some G. gracilis in its parentage?

Looking at Hagen's 'drop brings on a bout of Galanthomania, the fervour of which I thought I'd never experience. What is not to like about that flower? I really sets my pulse racing! The glowing colour is one thing, but the overall bearing of the flower, the shape and texture of the outers, the wee apical mark that verges on being pips... too much!

Matt, yes, Hagen is setting the bar quite high...great fun to see his creations. We have had a cold snap here but even though it was a cold gray day, G. e. 'Yvonne Hay' was trying to open to put on a show, Another day perhaps. And then there is this G. gracilis primed and ready for a touch of sunshine. Great fun in mid winter. Rick

Yvonne Hay is a good-looker, Rick! Lovely flower-shape.

G. gracilis: so sweet...

Thank you Anne, just glad they are not yet buried in several feet of snow! Rick

Oh Matt T, do you mean, I'm a carrier (infectious person) of the "white fever"?
Sorry so much    :o

Definitely not something to apologise for Hagen.  SCHORBUSER LAMPION is beautiful, no wonder Matt is infected.  Can you give us the meaning of the name please?

Absolutely not - it's an infection that has been gestating for a while and I can only blame myself for recklessly exposing myself to the pathogen!

Brian,
The good globular flowershape and later the long claws seems to look like a lampion/lantern. And inside there is a little but warm ( candle) light.

look here too:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampion

Flowering with me for the first time is G. Elwesii var monostictus (I hope), beautiful little galanthus.

Garden centre finds. Maybe not very exciting but they are different. The last one is from dry bulbs bought in September

If it retains the lime colour it is nice and distinct.
