Oh Eric, that is so beautiful, thank you.  Mine (planted last Autumn) only have one flower each.  Will they be become multi-stemmed as they age?

Georgie, I only planted these last autumn too and they've just started coming through,  I wondered what they were at first before I searched through the packets.

These three blooms are all on the same plant.  I ran out and checked when I read your post.

Hi Mrs KP, lovely pic.   :)  Since my last post I've got some double-headed blooms coming through now too. 

Hi Flowerlady.  Eric was telling me the other night that he is after a pink variety which is quite rare.  Looks like you might be his saviour.  ;)

Chionodoxa Pink Giant is easily obtianed and fairly common. The one I was looking for is one called WHITE Giant.

i'd never heard of them before (there's a lot i've never heard about before if the truth be known  ;D), i think my pack of bulbs were free with the news of the world for heaven's sake  :o

only wish i'd planted them in a bunch altogether rather than hither and thither.  once they die down, all the spring bulbs are getting lifted and grouped for greater effect. 

glad you got your multis , Georgie ;D

I love chionodoxa - have got them all over my rockery and last autumn bought another pack to plant among a lot of tete-a-tete narcissi at the lottie.

Going to do that again at home - the combination works extremely well!
