Snowdrops

Always the first flower to bloom in the New Year is the snowdrop. They are readily found in our Atrium Garden. The snowdrops have many meanings and symbols associated with them.

The delicate white of the snowdrop symbolizes innocence and purity. Because it is the first flower to bloom at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it also symbolizes hope, which is always a wonderful feeling for all of us to embrace.

They are tough to capture in a photo as they tend to hug the ground, but a treat to see in person!
