Hello Jane, This snowdrop is a newer selection of G. reginae-olgae, done by M. Jope. I have the regular form too, which blooms usually by mid November for me. G. peshmenii has finished flowering about 2 weeks ago. Some other follow in December (if the weather stays mild), then some forms of G. elwesii start in January. C. boryi did not bloom yet, for a certain reason it is later this year. Perhaps I should move it to full sun, all day long (it receives morning sun for now). Do you grow succesfully C. coum? I only have the magenta form and want to try the white one too. I thought they might not be hardy enough in my area, but they seems to thrive. From the mid winter Narcissus, I prefer Julia Jane, seem to be sturdier than the rest and multiply like no other. Maybe I can donate some next year in the EU BX, if there is any interest. Here is a young seedling of N. elegans: Cheers, Vlad On Tue 3.
