Name Price

G. ‘Northern Lights’ ................................................................................................................................. $160 A newer virescent hybrid in which the whole flower glows a pale green. A very special selection by the renowned galanthophile and plantsman, Andy Byfield.

G. ‘Orange Star’ ......................................................................................................................................... $80 Ruben Billiet and Olivier Vico’s stunning discovery from Northern France combines two features for the first time. The flowers have variably three, four or five narrowed outer segments but most extraordinarily, the inner segments are converted to enlarged versions of anthers which together with the flower form, inspired the name.

G. ‘Peardrop’ ............................................................................................................................................. $30 A tall, single hybrid with a fine fragrance from the late plantsman Cliff Curtis. The outers develop long “claws” as the flower ages. Vigorous.

G. ‘Percy Picton’ ........................................................................................................................................ $20 A G. plicatus selection with a very long pedicel and large flowers with nicely marked inner segments. A good grower, it often produces two flower scapes per bulb.

G. ‘Phil Cornish’ ......................................................................................................................................... $70 A lovely selection from the garden of the great galanthophile Phil Cornish. Wonderful all green inners with outers heavily marked with bright green.

G. ‘Pieces of Eight’ ................................................................................................................................... $110 Found together with Long John Silver, this is more buried treasure from Veronica Cross' garden. A vigorous plant with paddle shaped outer petals, nicely slimmed at the base to show the darkly marked inner segments but wide below to accommodate the broad flash of green. The flowers hang gracefully from a nicely arched pedicel. Perfection?

G. ‘Pumpot’ ............................................................................................................................................. $100 The first inverse poculiform G. nivalis, this was found in 1995 by Joerg Lebsa as an isolated example in a stand of its species in Dresden Botanic Garden. Since then, 'Pumpot' which is named after a green-garbed character in Sorb mythology, has been passed between collectors. This slender snowdrop is a perfect example of its floral morphology, the outer segments showing a solid apical V to U-shaped marking over a shallow sinus whilst their inner surface shows the green lines running to the base. The inner segments are similarly marked and slightly shorter.

G. ‘Rev. Hailstone’ ..................................................................................................................................... $20 A tall, early flowering hybrid with large, elongated flowers. A strong grower with good garden presence early in the season.

G. ‘Rising Sun’ .......................................................................................................................................... $160 A special early flowering G. elwesii with bold green marks at the tips of the outer segments.

G. ‘Rosemary Burnham’ ............................................................................................................................ $70 Originally from British Columbia where G. elwesii has become naturalized in a few estate gardens, this received much acclaim when first exhibited in 1998. This amazing virescent form is so covered in pale green lines on the outer petals that the effect is of a pale green wash.

G. ‘Saraband’ ........................................................................................................................................... $120 A fine hybrid selection from Brian Ellis that produces two flowers per scape once established.
