Plant of the Day

Saturday 24 February 2024

Great for a shady place under mature deciduous trees Galanthus nivalis (snowdrop, Candlemas bells, fair maids of February, little sister of the snows) will form large colonies. This early flowering bulbous perennials are fragrant and provide food for early pollinators.

Snowdrops in the winter sun!

They say that spring starts with snowdrops. Here where I live, the weather is too tropical to enjoy these pretty flowers, all I can do is admire them by drawing them. Small note: At my patreon (AneaCC) there's a wallpaper with this design, if your interested <3

Galanthus nivalis (common snowdrop)

The Latin phrase "omne trium perfectum" translates as; "All good things come in threes". Maybe the Romans were talking about snowdrops, which are native to Europe and the Middle East. Seen 'head on' this flower appears to have three petals (two white petals and a green one in the middle) but this plant actually has six petals (three white and three green). This is best appreciated when looking at a snowdrop from three different angles.
