Galanthus -Quizz
« on: February 15, 2008, 04:22:28 PM »
Hi @ all ,

Here are a lot of Galanthophiles and so I would like to start a little quizz for snowdrops :

Who knows what is the common name in Greek for snowdrop ?

 :) Hans :D

I was going to guess 'Milk flower'

but as that has already been taken

how about 'church flower'?  Or 'Snow piercer'?

Sorry John -but you are wrong too !

Snow piercer is it in France and Italy ( Perce Neige + Bucaneve )
the greek people plant it not on churches and graveyards ....

Sorry friends - but Google will not help you 8) 8) 8)

I wait for our specialists like snowdropman , dropoholic and our private snowdropman !
