Description
(Galanthus Ace of Spades)
When it first began to appear in cultivation, Trym caused something of a sensation, as it was, then, an entirely different type of flower structure for a Snowdrop.
The outer segments, which in the young flower are tightly clasped and tubular, reflex open with age and when you look, you realise that they have the size of normal outers but the form of the inners, complete with an apical notch and a green mark on the apex. The inners, which form a tube, have the usual structure expected from inners, with a green apical mark and notch also, so all six petals resemble each other, differing only in size.
For many years Trym held a unique position as the only snowdrop with this very striking and lovely appearance. Today, many of Trym’s offspring, presumed offspring and seedlings have been raised and cloned, so the appearance and characters of its flowers are not now quite so unusual but it all started with Trym, which was discovered by Jane Gibbs in her garden at Westbury-on-Trym near Bristol from whom we received our first plants over 25 years ago.
