Photographer’s Note
All species of Galanthus have bulbs, linear leaves, and erect flowering stalks, destitute of leaves but bearing at the top a solitary pendulous bell-shaped flower. Galanthus nivalis grows 15 cm tall, flowering in January or February in the northern temperate zone. The white flower has six petals, the outer three segments being larger and more convex than the inner series. The six anthers open by pores or short slits. The ovary is three-celled, ripening into a three-celled capsule.

For me it was a surprise to find snowdrops in this period of the year. Usually, they are blooming in middle of March.

Bonjour Elena,
Tu nous proposes une très belle image de perce-neige, avec une exposition bien étudiée, qui évite de bruler les blancs. Cette photo aurait toute sa place également sur Treck Nature.
Salutations
Hervé
