#Snowdrops got their name from the drop earrings worn by ladies of the English court in the 16th century, rather than drops of snow. In Greek they are Galanthus Nivalis which means “milk flower of the snow”.#Painting by Stanley Spencer, 1955.#Imbolc#February1st#Candlemaspic.twitter.com/NYl2sEb9xG

1st Feb is
#Imbolc (or Imbolg - ‘in the belly’), a#Gaelic celebration of the start of#Spring & the quickening of new life. It is the day of the fire goddess#Brigid as she brings blessings to the hearth & fertility to the land.#Snowdrops are her footprints.#FolkloreThursdaypic.twitter.com/3n9LbJILKI

Frail gifts from
#Nature's half-reluctant hand... I see the signs of#spring about the land... These chill#snowdrops, fresh from wintry bowers, Are the forerunners of a world of#flowers.

Galanthus Phil Cornish, one of my all time favourites. Named after a great galanthophile who found many beautiful snowdrops. And a lovely man.
