Garden Snowdrops

Mom's snowdrops now grace my own garden beds. Last fall, before mom's house was sold, I dug snowdrop bulbs from her garden and brought them home to mine. Mom's legacy goes on. . .and I cherish memories of her through the things she loved.

Galanthus nivalis

Snowdrops are usually the first to bloom each season, sometimes pushing their way through the snow to poke out their milky-white blooms. The flowers on a stem look like three little, white, milk-drops on a green ribbon. They are usually a very small plant with little blossoms, so planting them in clusters or groupings make a better showing than one or two bulbs scattered in a garden bed. Once planted, they will provide a life-time of early spring beauty in your garden.
