Sweet Snowdrop

I love all things Simple & Sweet.

The snowdrop symbolises purity and hope in the language of flowers.

A legend about the origin of the snowdrop ....

When God made all things on the Earth, He asked the snow to go to the flowers and get a little color from them. One by one the flowers refused. Then, very sad, she asked a snowdrop to give her a little of its colour and the snowdrop accepted.

As a reward, the snow lets her bloom first whenever spring shows.

Wishing all you lovely ladies a wonderful week!
