I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
Good bot.
I concur with the bot. It’s definitely a leucojum, not a galanthus (aka snowdrop). The flowers are more rounded and circular in leucojum and they can often branch on one stem. Snowdrops have more separated, oblong petals, and only one flower per stem.
Here is a good article (with dissected blooms) to help differentiate between these two early spring beauties! https://www.morrisarboretum.org/blog/snowflakes-vs-snowdrops-pendulous-beauties-early-spring
Happy spring!
Very nice article! Thanks :D
Happy to help!
The thing that article calls snowflake/leucojum is commonly called a Snowdrop in Australia.
Interesting! I always use the Latin when talking plants for that reason. Common names can get so confusing. I had no idea they even called them “snowflake” here in the US - they have always been leucojum to me!
