Snowdrops

Good to see the snowdrops or Galanthus are still out, I always think they are so delicate and pretty.

The generic name Galanthus, from the Greek gala (milk) and anthos (flower), was given to the genus by Carl Linnaeus in 1735. He described Galanthus nivalis in his Species Plantarum published in 1753. The epithet nivalis means "of the snow", referring either to the snow-like flower or the plant's early flowering.

It's the weekend now, enjoy!
