Soon to open, Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis). Native to Europe. Though not native, it is a well behaved plant. Two leaves emerge from a bulb along with a single pedicel, or stem, with a solitary flower. Three to six inches tall.

It is said that Snowdrops blooming indicate that spring is coming. However since they begin blooming in early February, I simply take it as an affirmation that it is indeed winter.

Quite the treat for the middle of winter.
