The bell is another highlight of spring. It starts blooming in February and blooms until May. The little bell is a permanent bulb that grows up to 15 cm high. From the bulb spring two or more simple striped leaves turn greyish green. A stem develops in the center between the leaves, bearing one white bell-shaped flower, which hangs downwards. The inner petals are green trimmed. The fruit is a three-compartment capsule containing seeds. The seeds are spread by ants. The aboveground part collapses a few weeks after flowering. It grows on moist, nutrient-rich soil throughout Slovenia. We have a protected species that is allowed to be picked up for a bouquet, and underground parts are not allowed to be excavated.

This year, these plants are in a hurry to blossom.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Vidocka….they really are somewhere soon but no wonder when it’s so warm
Yes, but now we will have winter.
And it snows if the predictions are correct
I haven’t seen these flowers personally, I have just read stories about snowdrops, such a beautiful name, in these few years. They are cute. 🙂
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, my friend….
Snow drops are popular here for us. Beautiful my friend.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Carol…..I’m glad you know them and grow with you
Lado is my favorite flower. I want a small bouquet, because here where I live there is none. And it’s very warm. I brought it from Bulgaria. I planted them in a pot, but unfortunately they died.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Elenka….in Spain it’s probably too hot … they don’t grow in the sea either …. they need a lot of moisture
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Tas…..I’m sure you are growing too
I don’t understand what you mean
I thought bells were growing in your country too, dear Tas
A little misunderstanding in communication …. now I understand
i am not sure I have seen these. But we don’t have wild flowers easily seen.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear friend…..these flowers grow in the forest and in the meadows next to the forest
our walks are mostly in the city/little woods around us. I will have to wander off tot he state park and see if they are here.
that will not happen for at least the next four weeks (the park is closed).
We’ll have to move many things to better times ….. tulips will bloom again in our park and it’s also closed
my favorite park, lake, quiet, wonderful place is closed. It is the only place I have with water I can walk around, without driving for an hour.
It has only been a week and I miss it already!!!!
Yeah it’s only a week …. I don’t even imagine how it will be after a month ….. people will start to get depressed
A plant apparently faint but in reality very resistant. We call it Ghiocel!?
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Ileana….very resistant to cold
I have not seen exactly these flowers. But you me thing similar on chili paper plant.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, my friend….. you do not grow these flowers?
I don’t think we grow these flowers.
Thanks for the information, my friend
They are called snow drops, the harbingers of Spring. They are simple but beautiful.
Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Dawn….I’m glad you know these flowers …. they have a different name around the world
I have seen these flower some where before
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend….I’m glad you know these flowers …
It’s ordinary to you, but it is unique to me because I have never seen that flower before
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, my friend….in our country, it now blooms to millions
They are such lovely flowers I enjoy them in the spring,
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Sandra….here they are now growing to millions … everything is white from the bells
Such little and ordinary flowers, but they always give people hope that spring is coming.
Thank you for your visit and nice comment, dear Ellie….yes they are one of the first signs of spring
