Common Name: Greater Snowdrop, Elwe’s Snowdrop, Galanthus elwesii
Heralds of Early Spring! Galanthus elwesii is named after H.J. Elwes, an English plant collector who found the original plants in Turkey. Unlike other snowdrops, the leaves of Galanthus elwesii neatly fold inside the other. The pristine white flowers have two green spots on the inner petals, which sometimes fuse together.
