Snowdrop,中文的正式名字,叫做雪花莲。
早春开花的这种小球茎,象征着希望 - hope。通常它在春分之前就开放,比英国报春花更早。
雪花莲的花苞总是低着头。就像垂下的一滴雪。
盛开的时候,会发现花心也带着绿色的希望。
在欧洲大陆上,snowdrop通常被认为是冬天的花,在二月开放,因为二月二日是一个基督教节日 Candlemas Day,所以又叫“Candlemas Bells”
它的拉丁名字叫做:Galanthus,意思是,牛奶一样白的花儿。
The snowdrop legend:
According to legend, the snowdrop became a symbol of hope when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden. When Eve was about to give up hope that the cold winter would never end, an angel appeared, transformed some of the snowflakes into snowdrop flowers, proving that winter eventually gives way to spring~~~
