7 varieties of Galanthus are now flowering in my garden. This is the trickle before the rush. Blooming just now is elwesii heimalis, plicatus 'Three Ships', elwesii 'Hayden', reginae-olgae, elwesii 'Faringdon Double' and 'Castlegar'.
This is 'Hayden'
Lovely, looking forward to the RUSH!
Would love to see pictures of all, Mark. Pretty Please!

you dont want to get into yellow 'drops they will cost you a weeks pay for a small group.
Scots with their accent call them snaydreeps, my accent says snudrops
Any new ones blooming? Remember us when they do, we want to see.
no more just yet but many are above ground. Dont worry I'll keep everyone posted
Galanthus elwesii var elwesii.
This form of Galanthus elwesii differs from G. elwesii var monostictus - see 'Hayden' at the top - by having either two green marks on the inner petal or a solid one.
What a lovely start on the New Year, Mark. Hope this year is flower filled!

Galanthus 'Mrs. McNamarra'
Such lovely little flowers. I'm definitely going to have to have some for next fall planting.
Oh no you wont LOL You will plant them in the summer LOL. I can give you an address of a guy in NY if you want to start collecting Snowdrops
Mark, I've been following this thread because I really love Snowdrops and only have one kind. Please let me know the address of the guy in NY so I can get more this summer. Thanks so much!
Ok, Ok, I'll plant them in the summer! But just like pins2006 I'll need the addy.
You need to contact him now for his list or you will have to wait another year. I must warn you that named varieties cost from $7 to $45.
