North Green Snowdrops

- 23 -
Hiemalis Group 'Dorothy Foreman': a very desirable Decemberflowering
snowdrop with shallow 'horizontal' outer segments. The
first known green leaved hiemalis! Named after David Foreman's late
mother. £45.00
'Jessica': one of the fine green-tipped snowdrops found by Phil
Cornish and named after his wife. Convergent heavy green lines on
the outer segments and strong X-shaped markings on the inner
segments. The smooth textured flowers are held well above the bold
arching leaves. See illustration p.53. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.191)
£10.00
'John Tomlinson': a fine large flowered G. elwesii with a broad,
olive-green, heart-shaped marking on the inner segment and
matching green tips on the outer segments. A plant of some quality
flowering from New Year onwards. One bulb per customer.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.175) £22.50
'Jonathan': only limited information about this exceptional
snowdrop was available when the great monograph 'Snowdrops' was
written in which it was, unfortunately, only briefly mentioned
underneath the description for G. elwesii 'Grumpy'. Unlike G. elwesii
'Grumpy' the outer segments have green tips and the basal markings
on the inner segments are fused rather than separate, but the apical
heart-shaped marking is similar. However, the great glory of this
snowdrop is that the usual white of the inner segments is transformed
into a magnificent, golden-orange glow. This splendid snowdrop may
need to be well settled before these characteristics appear. It was
found in North Yorkshire by Michael Myers in 2000. See illustration
