snowdrop
February's white flower
A snowdrop is a small white flower that blooms in late winter or early spring, often pushing through snow.
The nodding, bell-shaped blooms appear before most other flowers, making snowdrops a symbol of hope and the end of winter: The first snowdrops are up in the garden.
