Alas she is not a nivalis.  Seems the lawns are getting greener in Brandenburg.  ;)

I think JimF will sign in just after me.

I am sitting here gobsmacked and speechless.

All are beautiful with their subtle differences.

I couldn't resist posting a few more pics of Galanthus 'Green Mile' after seeing Galanthus 'Green Tear' yesterday in real life. I have to say (sorry Gert-Jan) Green Mile is slightly better.  ;)

The greens are just wonderful!
A newbie question: are these new greens pure nivalis or are they hybrids, and if they are, with what?

Hello Robin,
good to see GREEN MILE here also.
In my eyes it is one of the best virescens, but I never saw it in nature.
But this day will come....

You would be not a good businessmen, if you would say other plants are better than yours.
What are your criterions to create the best? Price?
Much of green, deepness of green, flower size, flower shape, vigour, health???
GREEN MILE is a good member  of an increasing virescens society.

Sorry for saying GREEN TEAR is the king, this was not correct. This was only a fairy story. It is not the only one. It is also only a member of the green court.

Here is a picture of another green knight: HAGEN HASTDUNICHTGESEH`N ;)

I think they are both lovely, and will continue to admire their photographs, as I can't ever see myself paying that much money for just for one bulb!
