The Snowdrop or to use its scientific name Galanthus which is from from Ancient Greek, is a small genus of approximately 20 species of bulbous perennial herbaceous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae.
The plants have two linear leaves and a single small white drooping bell-shaped flower with six petal-like (petaloid) tepals in two circles (whorls). The smaller inner petals have green markings.
In this area Snowdrop Walks are held to which people can join spotting and taking photographs of them in historic halls and gardens.
