Beautiful reflections Claire. I too have been looking and reading about snowdrops. One fact I found fascinating is ‘ myrmechochry’ which is when ants help to dispose of snowdrop seeds by taking and feeding their larvae with a nutrient rich ‘elarasome’. Then the seeds are deposited in the ants trash heep (full of nutrient rich compost) that helps them grow. How lovely is that. Have you read The Wild Within by Brigit Anna McNeil, it’s an absolutely wonderful book about plants and life, recovery and renewal. xx
I think this happened in my garden this year! I love the snowdrop ! I remember wishing last year that I had more of them. I haven’t planted any new snowdrop bulbs but oh my life, I’ve got so many! Someone was listening!
I love snowdrops, we used to pick them in the forest when I was a child, it was the first flower which bloomed and showed that Spring is close. I don´t see them anymore around where i live.

My bulbs didn't come up too well. Not sure why.
You have inspired me to look closer at the snowdrops!
Do it xx
