Galanthus in October 2016
« on: October 01, 2016, 07:10:07 PM »
Just back from the Great Dixter Autumn Plant Fair. Monksilver had a good selection of G. reginae-olgae cultivars for sale - including 'Pink Panther' at £180. (I didn't buy one).

Great Galanthus, ruben. I did not know that there are so many cultivars of Galanthus reginae olgae. Mine are all grown from seed of different locations in Greece and they are all just normal ones.

Two G. reginae-olgae surfaced today, 'Cambridge' & 'Tilebarn Jamie'.  I suppose the drought has been holding them back.


johnw - +17c, +22c tomorrow.

Galanthus reginae-olgae subsp. reginae-olgae (left) compared to Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Cambridge' (right), the latter being a taller and more robust plant.
