Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are among the first flowers of the year, sometimes appearing even through snow. Their early bloom is possible because their bulbs store nutrients that fuel growth long before spring warmth arrives. Though they don’t rely heavily on pollinators, bees may still visit on warm winter days — a small but welcome boost for early insects. Have you seen one yet?
