A few years ago I bought some Galanthus Nivalis 'in the green'. They have now come up for several years but they are very obviously different from all the other Galanthus Nivalis that I have bought. They flower 4 weeks (or more) later than all my other Galantus Nivalis and their leaves are Grey-Green rather than Green.

I attach 2 photos below, one of the unknown Galanthus variety and the other of the 'normal' Galanthus Nivalis.

Any help in identifying the unknown variety would be much appreciated. Both pictures were taken on 8/2/22 at ~14.00hrs.

Unknown Galanthus Variety:-


Galanthus Nivalis:-

There are hundreds of different snowdrop varieties apparently and lots of snowdrop officionados who spend fortunes on a single rare specimen bulb.
There,s probabky a specialist site somewhere if yiu Google. I wonder whether the RHS might have an identification table somewhere.

To me one snowdrop very like another althiugh a couple of years ago I was given a few Russian snowdrops which produce a very pretty inner blue flower and come into bloom slightly later than the "common" variety.

Hello,
Not possible from that photo to I.D. the snowdrop.Better chance if we know the markings on the flower and there are so many Nivalis plants that us who have an amateur interest in snowdrops probably couldn't be too sure.Plenty of shows about at the moment where a specialist might identify it if you go to one near you and take a sample plant.They would need to see the flower and leaves or see if you can sort it yourself from the following site :-https://www.judyssnowdrops.co.uk/index.html
