Soon to open, Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis). Native to Europe. Though not native, it is a well behaved plant. Two leaves emerge from a bulb along with a single pedicel, or stem, with a solitary flower. Three to six inches tall.
It is said that Snowdrops blooming indicate that spring is coming. However since they begin blooming in early February, I simply take it as an affirmation that it is indeed winter.
Quite the treat for the middle of winter.

I agree, my snow drops also arrived, a joy to behold.
Hey Ken! Glad to hear that you’ve got Snowdrops there too. Yay winter. Who would have thought there would be flowers blooming?!!
