Galanthus 'Penguin'

A charmingly distinctive snowdrop named for the penguin silhouette formed by the green marking on its inner segments. The marking is unusually characterful, giving the flower an instantly recognisable appearance when viewed face-on. A neat and memorable cultivar whose name needs little explanation once the flower is seen. Given to Edulis by the late Andrew Thorp, adding another little piece of snowdrop history to the collection.
