For the sixth day of 'A Week Of Flowers' I just had to include one of my favourite flowers and most anticipated flowers of the year which are galanthus, more commonly known as snowdrops. I grow a good number both named varieties in pots and in the ground as well as the more common galanthus nivalis. Above is the named variety 'Trumps' with beautiful distinctive flowers but a most unfortunate name.
Thanks to the lovely Cathy over at 'Words and Herbs' for hosting such a fun floral gala. Do pay her a visit if you haven't done so already.
A most unfortunate name indeed for such a beautiful flower, Anna! The flower's not even orange! The orange man's family name was originally Drumpf before they changed it (prior to Donald's birth). It's too bad they did, as now, every time I might use the term trump, I have to consult a thesaurus to find an alternative ;)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you included a picture of snowdrops Anna, as I do enjoy your snowdrop photos - I think I will always think of you now when I see one! They are such cheerful little flowers. Hope your weather improves tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAnna, your snowdrops are wonderful. I, too, lament the name for such a lovely flower.
