Galanthus 'Little Ben'

Here is the tiny Galanthus alpinus var. alpinus.

A lovely snowdrop and like the way you print your labels with a border around them on green label with transparent tape - very nice.

Thank you, Jennie. The labels, tape and machine came from Labels`n`things. They have a web shop.

Thanks for the link to the 2010 post, I'm following that up. Scottish because Edrom Nursery is in Scotland and their website says they are cultivating it. But maybe now it may have its origins in Zummerzet.

Just had a few registrated today at the KAVB in Hillegom. They were most fascinated by the cream/yellow G.n. Springs Gold

Unfortunately unless you are a member of Facebook you can't look at your link.

Bucaneve Gold looks a real little treasure, good to see you on here again.

There are a lot Scottish Rockers on Facebook Brian! I will try to post more, but time is the factor at the moment!

After the naming and showing at the KAVB, i had to go to one of my favorite forrests again. Bit in a hurry and found only 5 new selections this time!

More pics later!

It was also nice to see that one of our members entered the only right way to have youre new found snowdrops named and registered! Lets hope she can convince those who have to do the same! I do repeat it just one more time, if anyone needs help let me know. You dont have to send plants, however a fresh leaf and flower with stalk would help and a good photo.

For the rest its FREE for people outside the Netherlands, it costs me 121 euro each, but thats just bad luck because i was born here

So whats keeping you from eternal fame?

I registered my snowdrop 'The More the Merrier' with the KAVB late last year.  The registration process is very easy and can be done by email, you just need some good photographs.  A feature of this snowdrop is that the outer petals are irregular, sometimes notched and sometimes not.

I'm bemused.

Why would anyone want to register a snowdrop with irregular, intermittent and sporadic features? Surely not desirable features?

This is a genuine question and not a snipe at galanthophiles.

Sorry Allan, i forgot to mention you too! But maybe becuase it was just one No just kidding Alan it was on the next page and overlooked!

My latest find had irregular features, so I binned it.
