Description
(Twomark Group). One of three selections from G. elwesii by Patrick van den Berg. Remarkable is the flower position of this late-flowering snowdrop, for quite a long time the flowers stand horizontally where it is clearly visible, that the short inner petals overlap. On these petals there are dark green markings at the top and a small green spot in a V-shape at the bottom.
BELONGS TO THE FAMILY OF AMARYLLIDACEAE
To date, nineteen species of snowdrop are known. This could well change, and not all botanists agree on this number. Species occur in the wild somewhere in the world. Many snowdrops are very variable, and if someone discovers an unusual snowdrop and gives it a name, another cultivar is added. Thanks to all these different species and cultivars, it is possible to have snowdrops blooming in the garden from autumn until April. It is important to plant the bulbs immediately upon arrival.
