Hi all

I would like to know the opinion of the Galanthus friends here what this plant is

I bought the seeds from Pilous in 2014 and sowed them on 09.01.2014.
I got this as Galanthus krasnovii (ex Kintrishi valley, Georgia), 10 seeds

Now I have today first flowers and I'm really dissapointet  :o

In my opinion this is not a G.krasnovii - I have a suspicion of what this is about ..

Thanks in advance
Hans

Well, the leaves are bright green, which is right, but the inner perianth segments have a notch, which is wrong.
The leaves seem to be applanate.

lagodechianus?

Many thanks Diane for your opinion ,

From the leaves I was also thinking it is G.krasnovii - but as you say : the flower is complete wrong

I think it a simply G.woronowii  :(

Has anybody other idea's ?

I cannot see anything that would cause me to doubt that it G. woronowii.  Everything that I can see about it falls within the range of features I would expect from that species. 
Almost in Scotland.
