Galanthus Pillows

Beautiful variety of snowdrop.

3 March 2011 Lancashire NW England The same hedge bottom where these are located has snowdrops in flower much earlier this year - since 7 January. Are they wild? Snowdrops don't colonise by seeding except possibly in very mild conditions and so it is more likely that they were planted as bulbs at some point along this particular hedge bottom, beside a farm track, where they have been left to do their own thing. Their blooms should not be taken indoors, as it is said to bring bad luck and have been described as a 'Corpse in its shroud' An old wives tale? I don't know, but won't be tempting fate.

This clump of wild snowdrops along a river bank in Seaton Sluice Northumberland are a sure sign that spring is on its way

They earn their name often blooming before the last of the snow cover melts away in the warming days of spring.

Snowdrops, (Galanthus) from my very own Somerset garden, in the west of England. A little bit of forever spring for you.

This is my (Zeljkica) original snowdrop pattern. I drew each snowdrop by hand and colored it and arranged digitally :)

Care is needed walking through churchyards and woodlands at this time of year as snowdrops slowly appear from beneath the carpet of fallen leaves to herald the start of Spring.

A simple graphic after one of my favorite flowers

Snowdrops are a small beautiful first sign of Spring. Drawing celebrates the snowdrop or Galanthus as it welcomes the coming of the new year.

"The piercers of snow" - the significance of snowdrops after a bitingly cold winter - certainly is a significant one... the dawning of spring..! Soon the blue bells will be out ~ and warmth will return once again to the snowy mountains of Wales...

An unsigned original piece called 'Snowbells' - not a limited edition I might add... :P

Just liked the sound of snow lilies rather than snowdrops although both invigorate the senses...
