Hailstones are a definite dis-incentive to gardening, that's for sure. :'(

Hagen, your 'Kerbholzkelle' looks great. I am watching a puckered G. elwesii for some years in my garden, but I think, yours is better.

Hagen I add my admiration of  'Kerbholzkelle' I do like the snowdrops that are well puckered.

Here's a nice tiny plicatus cross seedling that I found in a seed bed this evening. It's truly tiny with slightly plicate leaves and a really small flower with slightly puckered outers. I like the tall scape holding the little flower well above the leaves.

The second pic shows my thumbnail alongside for size comparison. Not great pics because the light was bad.

Definitely not alone, Hagen. This is certainly a distinctive snowdrop. I would think not beautiful but distinctive!

Maybe not beautiful, but attractive nonetheless? 8)

Those large petals could be used as measuring spoons? ;)

The Reverend himself at Covertside last month, somehow he looks more like a nun.

Martin your nice tiny plicatus cross seedling would look sweet in a clump.

The Snowdrop Company order has arrived this morning.

A few more end-of-season pics:

A slightly better one of the tiny plicatus-cross seedling. For scale, it's in a 3 inch (7.5 cm)pot and is about 5 inches tall (13 cm).

A very large and tall ikariae seedling. Nearly 12 inches tall (30 cm).

A pot of Icicle.

Elwesii Tuesday's Child.

Elwesii David Shackleton, which has taken years to settle down here.

A large woronowii.

A pot of a mad seedling with very curly leaves. It has blood from the Mighty Atom group, which often have turned-over leaf tips, but this had taken that to an extreme. It was one bulb last year, so a strong increaser.
