  3. Snow drop – Lili Wen Fach, Eirlys, Blodyn yr Eira. Snowdrop or Lili Wen Fach flowers in January and February. They grow in hedgerows and in lightly wooded area. There are about a 100 varieties of snowdrops. The botanical name Galanthus means milk flower.

  4. Snow drop - Lili Wen Fach, Eirlys, Blodyn Yr Eira There is a famous poem related to the snowdrop: O Lili Wen Fach o ble daethost ti? A’r gwynt mor arw ac mor oer ei gri. Sut y daethost ti allan trwy’r eira i gyd? Nid oes blodyn bach arall i’w weld yn y byd. The poet wonders from where did this flower come from, as it is so cold, snowy and wintery outside. It wonders how it managed to flower from under the snow, as no other flowers seems to be present in the world at this time.

  5. January + February When we go for walks in our patch looking for plants and we see wild flowers, should we pick them? • You will need to think about a few things before picking flowers: • Picking flowers stops them for seeding next year and growing again. • The Wild Flowers Society tells you to pick flowers ‘with care and moderation’ but you must never uproot whole plants.
