I was going to say I’ve never seen yellow on my snowdrops. Must be that’s why they are “gold”? 🌞

😊 I do love the yellow ones but they are quite expensive. This is one of the cheaper ones. One bulb is usually between $25-$30! I reckon I’ve probably got about at least $300 worth of bulbs here! @sunlovin

She’s clumped up very well these last couple of years. They are practically bursting out of that little pot now 😆 @Auricula

Certainly does, no going back now. Next will be the crocus, then the daffs and then the tulips! @charlotte

Very happy that Wendy’s Gold has clumped up. I lost it a couple of years ago and had to buy a replacement. There must be a few bulbs in that clump now #galanthus #galanthusplicatuswendysgold #snowdrop #snowdrops

It’s a great name isn’t it Kerry? 😄 I spent ages trying to find a bulb as it’s a lovely yellow. Not everyone’s cup of tea but I like it @kez001uk

Thanks Jane, there’s a couple of other yellow ones in the bed, not quite up yet but on their way 💛💚🤍 @pelly

Thanks Sue! 😊 This is my favourite yellow in my little bed. I’ve a couple of others but Wendy’s gold is lovely. There a few yellow ones around now available but this was in my price range! Although it still cost me £25 for one bulb! 😂 @churchfarmgarden

Certainly an eye catcher Richard @richard.spicer.7906 , I really must do something about it this year.

@richard.spicer.7906 definitely worth the search, as are all your unusual bulbs. I just saw it cost you £25 though 😱

18/02/19 - Snowdrop Update - Galanthus ‘Wendy’s Gold’ just about to open soon, probably would have been today if it weren’t raining ☔️😉 . This has a yellowish green ovary with the same colour markings. It’s a little shy right now so will post another pic when fully open #galanthus #galanthus-plicatus #galanthusplicatuswendysgold #snowdrop #snowdropbed

It really is! I’ve a couple of other yellow ones, one of them quite similar but shorter. Starting to get the hang a little of telling them apart 🤓 @clipperty

I’m so pleased Cyndi - second time trying with these. Had a bulb previously and it died two summers ago so this was a replacement last spring 😀 @cyndi
