Galanthus in November 2018
« on: November 05, 2018, 12:19:37 PM »
A Melvyn Jope day in sunny East Anglia and some real beauties!

First up Gr-o Fotini, a beautiful RO with green striped outers. This has been temperamental in terms of flowering here but well worth the wait. It has bulked up extremely well.

Next, Melvyn's hugely imposing Jane Nicholls, still flowering well and again bulking like fury.

Next Sofia and Lefki, both with amazing perfume.

There is no better place to source Gr-os than MJ!

Lots going on with your "late year" 'drops, Ingrid!

Have you had any rain in the garden yet?

Nothing significant yet. I am glad a declared my own Autumn and drenched my drops in September and kept watering from then. Plenty are coming through now.

Your  dry spell has been a long one - ours was bad enough - but we have had  fairly regular rain for the last few weeks. Still quite dry in some parts of the garden though.

Opening today and I think the earliest I've ever had it flowering is three ships.

That is a lovely looking group, David. Peter Gatehouse seems to increase well.

Hallo Shauney, this means, that, when "Three Ships" flowers, the spring-snowdrop-saison starts! - Middle november!
