Galanthus for ID

[mark smyth]

it looks about right for woronowii

[Brian Ellis]

Yes, it does look as though it could be woronowii Göte, I love the way you have posted the pics of the galanthus parts on graph paper, a very good idea.

Yes - what a good idea to help us judge the scale.

Thank you very much for the confirmation. This means that wronowii likes mid-Swedish climate in deciduous forests.
Thank you also for your kind words.
We have seen some posting for identification that showed very beautiful pictures which hid all details necessary for identification so I intended to avoid that pitfall.
Göte

Hi All
Any Ideas on this one ? Had thought they might be Kite,but not so sure.

this was given to me many years ago as plicatus Percy Picton but not convinced it's right?

leaves are approx 15 - 20 mm wide





not all flowers have particularly long pedicels

[Paddy Tobin]

Richard,

Here's a photograph of G. 'Percy Picton' taken in my garden yesterday for comparison.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the flower marking, some more diffusion of the green in mine but such variation would be common within an homogenous group at any rate.

[RichardW]

thanks Paddy, does look very similar allowing for the variation.

[Diane Clement]

This came as part of a packet of Crocus gargaricus at the SRGC weekend bulb sale.  It's tiny - about 4cm tall.  I'm guessing it's a G nivalis Sandersii - any other ideas?
And thanks to the generous donor for this bonus! 

Unknown yellow galanthus

[mark smyth]

I would say nivalis Sandersii Group

This is my plicatus 'Percy Picton'

[RichardW]

thanks for that Mark (I did look at yours on your site as a comparison), mine does lack the very noticeable V in both yours & Paddy's, does appear that the pedicel is about right, thought from other descriptions it was much longer.

[mark smyth]

Eric yours could be 'Kite'. I have seen only a few over the years doing what they should do like the two below.

[Brian Ellis]

I would say nivalis Sandersii Group

I believe we should all say Sandersii Group shouldn't we!

[mark smyth]

well yes because one yellow nivalis is much the same as another. Yesterday at Margaret Owen's we were looking at two groups of Sandersii that were growing side by side. One was a much cleaner yellow for some reason

[Anthony Darby]

So what do we call yellow nivalis from, say, eastern Europe?
