Augustus

A very refined snowdrop.  I love the texture of the petals.  It's quite a large flowered snowdrop with broad plicate leaves, that is rolled back at the edges, indicating it is a form or hybrid of Galanthus plicatus.

On the web I find that it has a crocus connection:

Galanthus Augustus is a robust and vigorous selection of Galanthus plicatus. It was named and distributed by the famous plantswoman Amy Doncaster. she named it in honour of the famous E A Bowles; Augustus having been his middle name.


E A Bowles famously was an expert on Crocus.
