First Snowdrops of the Decade

• Common Names: Snowdrop
• Latin Name: Galanthus Nivalis
• Family: Galanthus

Today 23/01/2020 i seen my first Snowdrops of the decade up at Baberton House Walled Garden.

Ever since i was a wee laddie i have always loved seeing the snowdrops coming through. It has always been a sign of spring coming and the days getting longer. The bright white carpets of them amongst the woodland always brung a smile to my face on a gloomy January walk to school.

Snowdrops come in various types and I am useless at identifying them but the common snowdrop is Galanthus Nivalis. They provide a great source of food for the species of bees and other pollinators who will be having a hard job finding sources of food at this time of year.
