HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Snowdrops arenative to Europe and Asia and are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring. In the world of flower language, it is said to symbolize hope, consolation, and new beginnings. This is likely due to the fact that they are among the first flowers to bloom in the spring, after a long and cold winter. The snowdrop\'s ability to push through the snow and bloom, despite the harsh conditions, is viewed as a symbol of resilience and perseverance. In literature and art, snowdrops have been used as a symbol of purity and innocence. The white colors of the flowers is often associated with these qualities, and the delicate and fragile appearance of the blooms is thought to evoke feelings of tenderness and vulnerability. An example of a well-known literary reference to the snowdrop flower is in the poem \"The Snowdrop\" by Alfred Lord Tennyson. It describes the snowdrop as \"a single bell hanging in a void,\" and compares the flower\'s delicate beauty to the fragility of life. Here is your chance to have or give a meaningful, wearable piece of art and history.
