To me, visually, it certainly suggests that it has \u003cem\u003eG. elwesii\u003c\/em\u003e in its parentage, and I'd possibly think the other parent was \u003cem\u003eG. nivalis\u003c\/em\u003e, but that is just my opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe flowers are nicely shaped and finish with a point at the tip, with attractive claws, and the inner segments carry a very thin inverted 'U' or 'V' mark.  In some years I've found it actually presents as two separate notches, either side of the sinus.  It's quite a short plant and the flowers seem very large for its size, but they sit well above the foliage, and the whole plant balances well.  It's a very beautiful thing, with a really attractive inner marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eNot to be confused with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/daphnes-scissors\"\u003e'Daphne's Scissors'\u003c\/a\u003e, 'Daphne's Maximus' is a plant that flowers here in the North West of England from mid to late January.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wrj-sources\" style=\"font-size: 0.75em; color: #8a8a8a; text-align: left; line-height: 1.5; border-top: 1px solid #e6e6e6; padding-top: 10px; margin-top: 28px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the background here comes from Freda Cox, \u003cem\u003eA Gardener's Guide to Snowdrops\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRJ SNOWDROPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57693342269766,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/0701\/0118\/files\/Daphne_s_Maximus_-_CR1_8686.jpg?v=1793205659","url":"https:\/\/www.wrjsnowdrops.co.uk\/products\/daphnes-maximus","provider":"WRJ Snowdrops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
