Oh, look at me, all fancy with my Latin names of flowers! But you know better - I support Wikipedia because I go there 87 times a day, and they never fail me. These are Snowdrops, and I am so surprised to see them so early this year. It has been a really mild winter, so I guess that it is no surprise, but still. I guess that they are designed to survive the odd snowstorm or two at the end of the season, at least I hope so. Most species of Galanthus flower in winter, before the vernal equinox, March 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. So I guess they will be all right, and they make me feel really good - Spring is not that far off.
Very pretty and so nice to see signs of spring! Trace
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and I smile at you and your best friend, Wikipedia! I saw a sloped area covered in yellow and purple crocus the other day. Spring is arriving quickly.
