A very good year for getting some long standing yellow targets!

This mornings sunshine gives up Carolyn Elwes!

Utterly lovely! Yellow tips to the outers just visible in the second photo!

Thanks to Chris Horsfall and Emma T!

Truly stunning Ingrid. I have been watching mine open for the first time this week too and it has produced two flowers. Yesterday on the last of my many trips to see it I sat by the fire with a cup of tea when a loud buzzing came from my hair, I gave my hair a good flick and a groggy dreaded narcissus fly flew on to my arm. Talk about global warming.

a couple of shots of Ruby Baker which opened today and one of Carolyn Elwes.

Can anyone comment on this mystery snowdrop I was given yesterday? The flower, a single bloom, was pretty much gone over when I got it, but the leaves have a look that is quite different to most of my other plants; very grey-green, with hints of gracilis, elwesii and plicatus, and with a distinct lengthways ribbing. The only other plant I can think of with this sort of ribbing is koeneniansus, which this certainly isn't. It has come to me with the name "Kelways" attached to it.

Edrom's web site says it is not in stock yet whilst being bulked up. Kelway's is a Somerset nursery specialising in Irises and Peonies. Their web site shows a few more common Snodrops.

Steve, see http://www.edrom-nurseries.co.uk/shop/pc/Galanthus-Kelways-p11765.htm
Well spotted. I wonder why Edrom are attaching a Somerset name to a Scottish snowdrop?
