FAIR MAIDS OF FEBRUARY

At last the snowdrops in the garden have opened. There aren't very many of them in each group but they'll increase year by year.

They have other names beside the one I've used as a heading - Candlemas Bells is one, Candlemas being 2nd February. Another is Eve's tears. Have you heard of any more, perhaps local, names?Please let me know if you have....
