Galanthus in March 2017

[Maggi Young]

Goatee Green Tip would suit it well as a name.

Ingrid, you are showing even more terrific looking drops....way to go.

How many of you have heard of Daphne's Maximus? Well, here it is and it is quite a large plant and attractive bloom form I think. I have assumed that it could be a find of Daphne Chappell's, but am curious if anyone knows the history?

Cheers!

Rick

Interesting snowdrops again.
Cephalotus, your no 9 is my favourite.

Another oddity

Question for you 'drop fiends -  who knows the story of Galanthus plicatus 'Eric Watson'  ? 
Is it the same as  Galanthus ECW93 ?

I bought this drop from Ron McBeath many years ago. It was labelled Ex EGW but no number. Does the number refer to the year that it was selected.  Maybe Ron can cast more light on this.

[Maggi Young]

I'm stricken with doubt now as to whether Eric was E. C. Watson or E.G. Watson!  It's  E.G.  W, I believe - so an error in remembering the ECW may be at  play here too.

 Will suggest Ron as  possible lead. Thanks Alan!

Wondered what the noise was - then realised it was the sound of fainting 'drop fiends when they saw the Hepatica, Wim.  They're a nervous bunch, you know!

I know, that's why I hid it in between just plain white things, to calm down their nerves from too much colour.

Found last year some nivalis without inners too. The spotted one is the best I think.

Some green finds of last year.
