Snowdrops (Galanthus)

The cute snowdrop is familiar to everyone. It's not only one of the best-known but also one of the most popular early bloomers in our gardens. This is primarily due to its delicate appearance with its white blossoms and the springtime feeling it exudes. It's native to Europe and Western Asia.
