Galanthus nivalis

Galanthus nivalis This is the classic white single petal Common Snowdrop. Often one of the first flowers here in central Maine, these are a well-known and delightful sign that spring really is on its way. This resilient variety easily naturalizes over time and is well suited to forcing.

The Royal General Bulbgrowers Association in Holland (Koninklijke Algemeene Vereeniging voor Bloembollencultuur, or KAVB) puts this large group of diverse flowers into a boring catch-all category: Miscellaneous Bulbs. The expensive catalogs call them accent bulbs; some call them minor or dwarf bulbs (even though some of the fritillaries are huge!); Louise Beebe Wilder covered most of them in her 1936 classic Adventures with Hardy Bulbs. Whatever you call them, most are sweet, colorful, and completely welcome in spring.
