About the Snowdrop:
The Snowdrop is one of the first signs of winter drawing to a close and the beginning of new spring life. For many the dainty white flowers symbolise hope and purity.
The Snowdrop, like many of our native plants and animals, are under threat. Due to this threatened status they are protected under law and the trading of wild bulbs is strictly regulated. In most countries worldwide it is illegal to collect bulbs from the wild.
