Galanthus ‘Rainbow Golden Girl'

A strong-growing and distinctive hybrid from Michael and Ann Broadhurst of Rainbow Farm, ‘Rainbow Golden Girl’ is an intriguing addition to the yellow snowdrop collection. Its slender green ovary provides a pleasing contrast to the yellow markings, while the outer segments are elegantly shaped, slender and rounded to a bluntly pointed apex. The real attraction, however, lies within the inner segments, where an unusual yellow marking sits above the sinus and diffuses towards the base, creating a striking X-shaped pattern. This distinctive arrangement of colour gives the flower a character all of its own, making it particularly rewarding for close inspection. A good grower with both attractive floral detail and vigour, it combines botanical interest with the sort of individuality that snowdrop enthusiasts are always searching for. A golden girl with a rather clever design.
