Galanthus elwesii 'Zwanenburg'
Archive entry 08.02.06
I rather like this large flowered selection of Galanthus elwesii. The marks on the inner segments are large,
well defined and well balanced. Some forms of Galanthus elwesii have rather disturbing marks, like a green stain up a cows leg.
Something you don't really want to look at too closely.

This is an odd plant, it has been suggested that it may be a hybrid. It has a vigour that is not usually associated with
and has divided freely. It has made a tidy clump of good glaucous foliage and lasts in good condition for several weeks.
