Galanthus in bloom now
Galanthus elwesii ‘Peter Gatehouse’
Galanthus elwesii var. monostictus ‘Haydn’
An apology for all my many reader. I had thought this a seedling from the reginae-olgae varieties that have been in flower for weeks, flowering in the warmest, driest section of the garden, baked this summer and now a sodden swamp in the wet early winter. It grabbed the Christmas spot this year, though there are other contenders beginning to bud up. In fact today (30th December) when weeding I found the label for it and its fellows pressed hard down into the earth. I purchased it and several others of the ‘composer’ varieties last year at Hodsock. I merely cheated by revising the post ensuring my error is hidden by the miracles of the internet.
