A familiar spring perennial that is possible native to the South of Britain but widely naturalised and abundant. They favour damp woodland but can be found in many fields and parks. This one is located in Plattfields Park where a small patch of scattered snowdrops have grown.
The flowers are 15-25mm long with pure white outer segments but 3 inner segments that are white with a green patch. They are solitary, nodding flowers that appear January-March. They grow capsules for the seeds and the leaves are long, grey-green, narrow all basal.
