Looking for Snowdrops

Some flowers seem shy.


They prefer to hang their heads down.


Their drooping posture reminds me of snowdrops.


How many petals are there in a snowdrop?


Have you seen a purple snowdrop?


Snowdrops don't look sideways, do they?


These can't be snowdrops.


They look deceivingly cool though.


But may turn incredibly hot.


You didn't expect me to find snowdrops, did you?
Well, I did find some ants.

Check out Tootsie Time to enjoy flowers being flaunted from all over the world.

  1. hahaha, i thought at first they are eggplant's flowers. That shot with young fruits is very nice, esp the DOF. You mean you got a new macro lens, what is the focal length? seems unlikely, a close-up lens?

  3. Then you manage to find some "snow ants" inside an humble flower that hangs its head down.

  5. Pretty photos. Funny the first comment asked what are snowdrops. Makes sense were you are located, but there is not a Blotanical reader that has not seen hundreds of snowdrops. I see them in my sleep now. My neighbor has them too, covered in snow today though.

  10. I often get frustrated when shy flowers hang down like that - so difficult to photograph, but you did a superb job.

  11. Beautiful One! And clever as usual. I love pepper plants but don't usually have much of a harvest.

  16. Very clever. Pepper plants are beautiful too. Does that mean that you are tired of all of us, especially me, writing about snowdrops? You will be relieved to know that snowdrop season is over in the mid-Atlantic, just a few doubles still blooming. Now it's all about hellebores, here's a hint for your next post: they are in the buttercup family.
