Description
Watercolour of Snowdrops in a spring garden.
Snowdrops are a potent symbol of the coming of Spring, - most flower in winter, before the vernal equinox (20 or 21 March in the Northern Hemisphere), but certain species flower in early spring and late autumn.
Snowdrops can form impressive carpets of white in areas where they are native or have been naturalised. Most'Snowdrop Gardens' will have the common galanthus nivalis snowdrop, but some have more unusual snowdrops, some which may be unique to the garden that they are growing in.Several public Gardens which close during the winter season open specially during snowdrop season in February for visitors to admire the display. In the beautiful Altamont Gardens in Tullow, County Carlow Ireland -near where I live, they have a large collection of different varieties of Snowdrops and have guided tours of the Snowdrop beds in February.The snowdrops attract large numbers of visitors and the rarest may only survive in that garden due to the conditions and environment.
