Galanthus x valentinei 'Fieldgate Imp'

Galanthus x valentinei ‘Fieldgate Imp’ - This really is a lovely snowdrop to me. It’s an inverse poculiform or pterugiform. The outers, with a bold Trym-type marking, are almost pinched, and curve upwards and almost around eachother. They have a lovely crinkly, frilly texture to them. A beautiful snowdrop that should be in every collection. Nicely proportioned (although quite small for the plant size) flowers and looks fantastic in a clump. This plant is one of the ‘Fieldgate’ snowdrops from the late Colin Mason’s garden - this particular clone was named by Matt Bishop.  Talking about snowdrops that are easily identifiable at a distance or if a label is lost, this plant definitely falls into that category.
