Snow Drops

The name is Snow Drop (Galanthus nivalis). This is what it looks like right now against my back steps as night time temperatures go down to well below freezing.

It welcomes those temperatures and its namesake, snow, without a care.

One very hardy plant that grows up from a bulb.

A plant that is native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It’s well behaved and stays where I plant it.

No worry of it being invasive and all the while brings joy in the middle of winter.
