Re: Snowdrops

If you will excuse my interuption;
there are around 27 species of Galanthus. Added to this are many cultivars of the Common Snowdrop G. nivalis. Not all species will grow in a naturalised fashion in the UK but some will, for example G. rizehensis, G. elwesii and G. gracilis.
I seem to remember downloading an identification key from Kew Garden's website a few years ago. It was rather complicted though and I seem to have lost the file.
