Visibaba belongs to the family of sunflower (Amaryllidaceae). It’s a small, bulbous plant, only fifteen centimeters high. Her blue-green eyes, long leaves have a distinctly longitudinal groove in the middle. About two centimeters of long exterior petals rising and separating from the inner, shorter petals streaked with green or yellow spots. The bell-shaped wreath creates six petals arranged in two circles. The flowers are bent. Visibaba bulbs do not have solid shells on the surface, like other bulbous flowers. The smell of visibaba is very weak.

Galanthus, in Greek Gala, which would mean milk, and Anthos means the flower, thus pointing to the milky-white color of flowers, as well as Nivalis , meaning snow, indicate a snow-white color of flowers. Visibaba grows in deciduous, mixed or evergreen, floodplain lowland forests on fresh, nutritious, slightly to moderately acidic soils and meadows. It can be found in the region of Central Europe, from the Pyrenees to the Carpathians across the Caucasus, all the way to Asia Minor.
