Glory of the Snow




Another of my first flowers to appear in the spring is Glory of the Snow, also known as Chionodoxa, a small flowering bulb in shades of lilac with white throats.

The photos show them growing among the daffodils, which should be opening in a few days.   

Chionodoxa is a member of the lily family and native to Turkey.  It grows about 6" tall and should be planted in sun to part shade in well-drained soil. The bulbs spread easily.
