Galanthus nivalis Snowdrop

Galanthus nivalis is a very familiar, early spring-flowering plant which is native to damp woodland and meadows in Europe. It is a neophyte alien in the British flora where it was first recorded in the wild in 1776. Its bulbs are often planted deliberately and in suitable places it forms large, well established populations. It has become naturalised in a number of woodland and hedge habitats in West Glamorgan, particularly in south Gower, e.g in Bishopston Valley, where it occurs in large attractive populations in Spring.
