The pink snowdrop was featured in the Alpine Garden Society journal a few years ago. I distinctly remember a picture of a snowdrop with a faint blush tint. However I don't propose to leaf through the past decade of volumes to find the page reference tonight. I had supposed that someone was either waiting to release it or trying to breed with it or else that it had died,- and that is why I have not heard anything since. I believe that Galanthus (plicatus subspecies) byzantinus is not the same thing as Galanthus nivalis. Your link to G Schorbuser Irrlicht does not look at all like a nivalis but perhaps yellow nivalis is in it's breeding?
