These snowdrops are also disrespectfully called 'groenpunten (greentips)', but the name is undoubtedly appropriate. The outer leaves have green tips, as if they were dipped in a pot of green paint. J.C.M. de Hoog from nursery Van Tubergen found this snowdrop in an old farmhouse in England around 1900. The British tend to think that this snowdrop is of English descent because it was submitted by a British bulb grower on an RHS Show in 1922. But even then there was already a lot of trade between the Netherlands and England.
