Description Some spring flower. Leucojum vernum, also called "Spring Snowflake"

From wikipedia:

Spring Snowflake (Leucojum vernum) and Summer Snowflake or Loddon Lily (Leucojum aestivum) are bulbous plants belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae.[1] They are the only species currently classified in the genus Leucojum. The spelling Leucoium may also be found.

Leucojum is a compound of Greek leukos "white" and ion "violet".


----------------------

Die Frühlings-Knotenblume (Leucojum vernum), auch Märzenbecher, Märzbecher, Märzglöckchen oder Großes Schneeglöckchen genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Amaryllisgewächse (Amaryllidaceae). Es ist eine der beiden noch in der Gattung Leucojum verbliebenen Arten; die zweite Art ist die leicht zu unterscheidende Sommer-Knotenblume (Leucojum aestivum). Der Gattungsname leitet sich vom Griechischen leukos = weiß, ion = Veilchen (der Geruch ist veilchenartig) ab. Der Artname vernum kommt aus dem Lateinischen ver = Frühling.

Well, we also had snow in October in the past, but that's longer ago. Even if we had October snow, it was melt the next day. The last years it wasn't snowing till the end of December or even in January. It's a little bit warmer here than in most parts of Canada

Today the bad weather season started, until yesterday we had nice weather - that's 15-20°C every day, no rain and hardly winds...
I made a bouquet of the last flowers from the garden for my sister's birthday, voilà

Thanks, I never learned arranging flowers so I was surprised it looked OK

What do you mean with "cold"?
Maybe next week I'll too, but so far we didn't even had frost this fall.

Oh I thought you wrote it was already -15 to -20C 

thats why maybe you meant +15 to 20C sorry 

then its all good, I just looked outside and we are having our first snow fall

a light covering so far at -7 C feels like -13C with light wind!

dass sind viele namen... Bei uns heisst es nur sneeuw klokje!

Paul774 In reply to Stilleschrei [2013-02-24 20:32:04 +0000 UTC]

Das kann ich mir nicht vorstellen. "sneeuw klokje" ist doch das normale Schneeglöckchen

Das hier ist aber das "Große Schneeglöckchen", der normal verwendete Name auf deutsch ist aber "Märzenbecher" wenn du dir Bilder von beiden anschaust und vergleichs wirst dus merken, das normale Schneeglöckchen ist viel kleiner und hat auch etwas andere Blüten.

Auf Niederländisch heißt diese "Lenteklokje"
