Galanthus reginae-olgae 'Cambridge'

A form collected in Corfu some time in the 1960's and given to Cambridge Botanic Garden
who listed it for some time as G. corcyrensis. Kath Dryden distributed it and eventually
it was recognised as a particularly vigorous clone of G. reginae-olgae and named.
It was the first selection of the species to be named because of its vigour and it demonstrated
that the species wasn't entirely miffy. I have wanted to grow it for several years but have only just managed to
obtain it.
