ask Dr. Watson
It is too expensive to ask a Doctor's opinion at this time of night.... Dr Watson works in the private sector! ;)

It was not very complicated. There was a page about Greek flowers on google.gr and so I found all information. Then I checked the name in images. ;D

As a translator I know very well never to trust an on-line dictionary  ;D but I thought, what the hell, it would be a nice joke if a snowdrop was a leucojum in Greek  :D

who ought to know a bit more Greek, with that name ...

You have to choose "pages from Greece" or how it is called there. Here it is called "seiten von Greece" (bad translation...).
