Britain seems to be locked this year in a wonderful passion for Snowdrops; I can never remember seeing so many growing in hedgerows and woodlands. We seem to all enjoy the stunning sheets of pure white blooms currently covering the ground. There are no fewer than 20 wild varieties spread across Europe and many of them were back by soldiers returning from the Crimean War in Russia in the 19th Century.
Some species have been in Britain since the Middle Ages and seem to have been associated with faith and religion; they seem to be clustered around most churchyards, ruined abbeys and priories. The coming of the snowdrop is an association to Candlemas 2nd Feb, also my Birthday, Candlemas is the Purification of the Virgin Mary, 40 days after Christmas and the Birth of Christ. It is easy to imagine how snowdrops became the perfect flower for the feast a symbol of purity and cleanliness.
So magical to enjoy the wonderful display that Mother Nature is giving us all this year ENJOY .
