Amaryllidaceae galanthus nivalis<\/em> or the “common snowdrop” (snowdrop; Greek g\u00e1la “milk”, \u00e1nthos “flower”)
\nSnowdrops breaking through the thawing ice. They are an inspiration to spring rejuvenation.
\nThis is a small genus (group) of about 20 species of perennial herbaceous plants propagated by bulbs. The plants have two linear leaves and a single white drooping bell shaped flower with six petal-like tepals (petaloid) in two circles (whorls). There are green markings inside the smaller inner petals.<\/p>\n
