These snowdrops are growing by the wall surrounding the church of SS Peter and Paul > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/871489. Snowdrops often show up weeks before crocuses do, and will often poke through a covering of snow and in the south may even bloom all winter long. The Latin name 'Galanthus' means milk-white flowers. Snowdrops will naturalise quite readily and are normally avoided by deer and rodents. See > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1132617 for a more detailed view.
