Galanthus reginae-olgae

Another fall-blooming snowdrop is Galanthus peshmenii. It increases well
for me (under a tree) but doesn't flower much. It is possible that the
correspondent's fall snowdrop got mixed into a shipment of
wild-collected snowdrop bulbs from Turkey at some time in the past. (I
must add that I got G. peshmenii from an irreproachable cultivated source!)
Last year I was given a snowdrop that flowers in early December and
keys out to Galanthus nivalis, which a friend found in an old garden in
his neighborhood.
