Their botanical name <em>Galanthus nivalis</em> means "with milky-white flowers like snow". Each pendulous blossom consists of three flared white sepals surrounding three small, green-edged white petals. Snowdrops prefer peaty, moist soil where they will make large colonies in time. Their bulbs must be planted very early in autumn; some gardeners prefer to divide clumps immediately after flowering ends.")
