February 2, 2012 -- snowdrops

It was hard to photograph this because the white snodrops are so small (and don't want to show up against off-white woodwork. This is the best I could do. In the brown bottle with the snowdrops are some wild onion greens.

I was a little reluctant to pick the snowdrops, because I don't have as many as I used to, but I was glad I did when I looked at them up close in the bottle and was reminded of something I once knew about them: that each flower has a little green heart inside.
