Ideal for a sunny or partially shaded location Leucojum vernum (spring snowflake, Agnes flower) tend to flower as the majority of Galanthus (snowdrop) cultivars are finishing. This bulbous perennial will reach up to 30cm in height and is useful at the front of a shrub or mixed border.

Snowdrops and Other Joys

Snowdrop by Master of Claude de France, from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
TO A SNOWDROP
Lone Flower, hemmed in with snows and white as they But hardier far, once more I see thee bend Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend, Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day, Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay The rising sun, and on the plains descend; Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May Shall soon behold this border thickly set With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers; Nor will I then thy modest grace forget, Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring, And pensive monitor of fleeting years!
—William Wordsworth

Helleborus niger by Hans Simon Holtzbecker
ON A CHRISTMAS ROSE II/Auf eine Christblume II
There sleeps a flower seed in winter’s loam. The butterfly that once in nights of spring Swayed over bush and hill on velvet wing Shall never taste of thy sweet honeycomb. And yet who knows, perhaps his fragile spirit– Long after Summer’s ornaments shall slip– One day from thy soft scent shall his ghost sip Unseen by me, though circling round so near it?
—Eduard Mörike, translation by A. Christine Myers

Anemone hepatica by Hans Simon Holtzbecker
EARLY BLOOMS FROM AN ELIZABETHAN GARDEN
The Hepatica or Noble Liuerwoort is another flower of account, whereof some are white, others red, or blew, or purple, somewhat resembling Violets, but that there are white threads in the middest of their flowers, which adde the more grace vnto them; and one kinde of them is so double, that it resembleth a double thicke Dasie or Marigold, but being small and of an excellent blew colour, is like vnto a Button: but that which commendeth the flower as much as the beauty, is the earlinesse in flowring, for that it is one of the very first flowers that open themselues after Christmas, euen in the midst of Winter.
—John Parkinson: Paradisi in Sole, Paradisus Terrestris

Sweet Violet and Red Admiral Butterfly by Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues
STANZA IV
The snowdrop, and then the violet, Arose from the ground with warm rain wet, And their breath was mixed with fresh odour, sent From the turf, like the voice and the instrument.
—Percy Bysshe Shelley, from The Sensitive Plant

Spring Snowflakes Wildflowers One wildflower stands out from the vast variety of the Thuringian spring wildflowers (see previous post 17). And this is Spring Snowflake aka Leucojum Vernum. For starters, these are absolutely the first spring wildflowers coming out in early-mid March, sometimes with the ground still with snow. Secondly, these are endemic to Central Europe and are not common further east (I’ve never seen them growing up in Belarus, but they do occur as far east as western Ukraine). Finally, they form massive carpets, literally covering the ground as far as the eye can see, making it appear as if it’s snow - hence the name Snowflake. Like tulips, they have bulbs and solitary six-petal flowers on the end of long stems. The petal endings have green and sometimes yellow markings on the tips. Interestingly, the flower was described originally in 1753 by none other then Carl Linnaeus himself, the Swedish botanist who is the father of the modern day taxonomy - he invented the entire system of genera, families, species, and so on. #travel2unlimited #travel #travelblog #germany #german #deutsch #eu #natgeotravel #unesco #adventure #wildflowers #springwildflowers #springsnowflake (at Thüringen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeI5KPtDAC-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
