Galanthus 'Little Ben'

I have a few days off work, so distracting myself with GT (I should be studying 🙄) - haven’t posted a pic of Little Ben for a while, so here he is. He’s quite a short snowdrop but has massive flowers, and they usually keep quite closed too unless it’s an exceptionally good weather day

They look lovely

That’s a lovely one Rich 🤍🤍

Such big and beautiful blooms 🤍🤍

@richard.spicer.7906 .... Afternoon Richard ..... Beautiful photo ....... Now back to that studying ..... no slacking young man ..... ha ha ha.

I just adore snowdrops 🤍💚🤍

Ben may be little but packs and impact 💚🤍

These self seed too and make small stands eventually in time. Especially nice when they poke through the “snow”. 😊🌞

Oh lovely…🤍💚

Lovely shot Richard….. I see you have a few different varieties too

Thanks everyone, nice little snowdrop - I love the fact Little Ben is part of the 'mighty atom' group classification of snowdrops - makes it sound like a mini superhero 🦸🏼‍♂️ 😄 @joanboston @juliesgarden @hkyfvr @pelly @Auricula @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks David 👍🏼, yes one of a few I have. Would love to buy more but holding back at moment till I’ve found permanent homes for these elsewhere in garden, which is under renovation @Davidward

These are lovely! #snowdrop #snowdrops #galanthus #galanthuslittleben

Love seeing the different varieties in your snowdrop bed 💚

They are really top heavy.

Thanks Sue! Lots of good clump sizes, couple of fatalities unfortunately so I’ll dig up those empty baskets and replace them with something new. @lilybee

They are, this particular one is known to have massive flowers on short stems. The look quite neat I think 😊 @suerichards

Perfectly formed bud ready to open 😊 #snowdrop #galanthus #galanthuslittleben

Nice and fat 😉

Ok, couple of this years purchases now, which are already in bloom. This one is 'Little Ben' - flower is quite large, but really short stems #snowdrop #galanthus #galanthuslittleben

Cute, I like the short stems. Shows off the bloom.🤗

Indeed @purplebird 😀- hopefully the short stems can still support the weight of the bud. Will keep my eye on it to be sure. May put a little layer of grit in the pot for this one to stop water splashes from the soil as it's quite close. 👍🏼

Beautiful snowdrops Richard. @richard.spicer.7906

I never knew there were so many different makes of snowdrops.

The leaves appear thicker than some too 🤔
