Snowdrop

Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis), a beautiful British winter-flowering amaryllidaceous plant. It has a bulb, a pair of narrow linear glaucous leaves, and one or two drooping white flowers with a membranous two-nerved spathe, a spreading white calyx, and three erect notched petals, white with green points. In gardens it is often doubled, and several other species are also cultivated.
