Snowdrops, primarily belonging to the genus Galanthus, rely on various pollinators, particularly bees, for pollination. When the flowers bloom in early spring, they emit a sweet scent and produce nectar to attract these insects. As bees collect nectar, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating fertilization. Additionally, some species of snowdrops can also reproduce through asexual means, such as bulb division.
Most plants do not self pollinate.
Galanthus is the Latin for the English flower named "snowdrop."Specifically, the word functions as the binomial ("two-name"), botanical, Latin, scientific, or taxonomic name for a plant. It originates in the combination of the Greek words gála ("milk") and ánthos("flower"). The pronunciation will be "guh-LEN-thuhss" in Anglicized Latin.
Plants that cross pollinate are called hybrids.
The snowdrop is the very first of all the flowers that grow - to push its fluffy snow white head Above the pure white snow. From memory only (1959 ) and I can't remember any more. Surprisingly can't find it anywhere on the internet.
The snowdrop is the flower of January.
