A little bit about the Snowdrop Flower
 
A symbol of Spring & purity the Snowdrop or Galanthus also means Rebirth, Sympathy or Hope in the language of flowers.
 
The Galanthus flower means 'Milk Flower' from the Greek Gala/Milk and Anthos/Flower.
The word Snowdrop may be derived from German name for teardrop shape pearl earrings fashionable in the 16th & 17th centuries - 'Schneetropfen' - 'Snowdrop'.
