Many galanthophiles are also eranthophiles. The humble winter aconite is becoming increasingly collectible. One of my favourites is Eranthis hyemalis ‘Euan Bunclark’. #fairviewyearround

Ahoy #galanthophiles @bramblebotanist.bsky.social @ghostofdatura.bsky.social this dumped plant has the elwesii wrap-around base but is enormous - man’s hand for scale! Any ID suggestions please?

I do know of her, and indeed met her once, but for some unknown reason she blocked me on all social media. Her loss rather than mine!
I know lots of really good galanthophiles so will look to them for inspiration and guidance when the time comes.

Galanthophiles, could this be G. elwesii Godfrey Owen? I don’t mind planting it and can’t find a label 🤦🏻♂️

Q. for galanthophiles: what do you make of this snowdrop? Initially I had assumed G. elwesii but now I’m wondering if it’s a hybrid. Reason is the clear leaf sheath, G. nivalis does have that but G. elwesii, afaik, does not, or am I mistaken?

And not any old snowdrops. Those have green tips on the outer petals. Much valued by galanthophiles like me.

Non-galanthophiles may not know that there are hundreds of different cultivars of snowdrop – here are a few of my favourites!

Aww, galathophile!! It has such a great sound! I hope you're a member of your local chapter of the international order of galanthophiles.
I wonder what we should call snowflake enthusiasts—they're Leucojum.

Peak time of year for galanthophiles --- these snowdrops are in my garden. They do keep going; it is several weeks since I spotted the first flower out.

In order, Trumps, Wasp, and Diggory. Wasp is new, but Trumps and Diggory were planted last year, and seem to be doing well in the currently freezing north of England. She also has some common nivalis gradually spreading, and S. Arnott which will hopefully become a drift as well. So far she has some which seem to be typically recommended, Titania (one of the Greatorex doubles named for Shakespearean characters), Wendy's Gold (planted several years ago but yet to spread), and Fly Fishing (think my favourite as elegant little thing, like an idealised image of a snowdrop). My mum is

A bonus post this Monday, for galanthophiles and for anyone craving signs of spring: the stunning snowdrops at Painswick Rococo Garden near Stroud. They are at their peak round about now - photos taken on Saturday.

Just been discussing this with galanthophiles and it could also be a green leaved form of plicatus. Green leaved forms occur in nivalis. The inner mark is a bit too big for ikariae but that could be ok for the x. Some leaves with recurved margins rather than pleating suggests x.
