Leucojum aestivum 'Gravetye Giant'

I think this might be summer snowflake, as it is so much later than my other snowflakes.

Beautiful mona!💘😍

Looks delicate and pretty

Love these 😍

Lovely Mona

Beautiful

I love them. From what I can see, the spring and summer variety look exactly the same, they just flower at different times - or am I missing something? @ShelleySnyder @gjones @Muzz67 @Davidward @columbiariver

That I couldn't tell you Mona, sorry!🤔💘😍

Me neither Mona!

Me neither. I've never had them. Richard Spicer is the gentleman to go to with snowflake questions. @richard.spicer.7906 Rich, can you help us with these beauties? @Emve Mona has a question above. Thank you

Interesting question - the summer snowflake was called ‘summer’ as at the time it was named many years ago weather conditions were much colder in spring so these bulbs didn’t flower till true summer. These days, our springs are much warmer so they typically flower earlier which causes confusion due to its name. It’s definitely Leucojum 👍🏼😊 @emve @columbiariver

My tutor informed me of that a couple of weeks ago. Leucojum vernum is much shorter, rarely getting over 20cm tall, where as aestivum is about 40cm tall. Here’s a useful link 😊 https://www.hortweek.com/leucojum/retail/article/1390329
