I saw my first Snowdrops of 2020 today in Cardiff’s Bute Park.
Candlemas bells, Mary’s taper, Snow piercer, February fairmaids, Dingle-dangle – all vernacular names for Snowdrops, according to my Flora Britannica. In Welsh, Snowdrop is Eirlys (pronounced Ire-liss), a lovely word that’s sometimes used as a girl’s name. How pretty!
One ‘star’ that I rarely see here. Mind you, I can’t get down far enough to tip their little heads up these days.

I saw a lot when I lived in Cheshire but don’t see many locally, and I suspect these have been planted in the park.
