I think I've asked about this before, but not got a solution.
A house near me has some very early snowdrops, which are already 2 - 3
inches high with buds showing white. They cheered my heart this
morning. There's no sign of my snowdrops yet.
These have quite wide leaves, certainly wider than galanthus nivalis.
I asked the house owner once, but he'd "inherited" them when he bought
the house and did not know the variety. I'd like to be brave enough
to ask if he thinks they need thinning!
Can anyone suggest an identification?

As Sacha says, there are *so* many different snowdrops. However, one of
the more common wide-leaved forms is Galanthus Elwesii. Mine are very
occasionally ahead of the others, but not this year. There is a good
snowdrop site somewhere; I'll see if I can dig it up.

Hi Pam,

Pardon me answering my own posting, but here is the link to that snowdrop
site. However, I had some trouble opening it. If you do, just try googling
on "Judy's Snowdrops".
