#Voorjaar #Hetsneeuwklokje

Even though they are so small and nice, they are tough plants. Because they are hardy.

The seeds they produce for their continued existence are small brown marble-shaped seeds. They like to be planted in the ground at a depth of 30 cm in November, preferably at a distance from each other. Because, under good conditions, they spread considerably. So that you have already gathered an entire regiment from 1 small group the following year.

In January, they stick their umbrellas out of the ground on a stem. Even out of the snow and they bloom until the end of February.

It seems like their little bells are ringing to everyone: “Just a little while and Spring will be here again”.

On the Header, you can see a clock at the bottom.

The snowdrops are also called Lilies van Dale. I discovered this in a very strange way. When a friend guided me to a medium. I was very curious. I just wanted to know what she would say to people.

After a welcome speech, she asked the people, who wanted to hear from her, to hand over an object you are attached to.

At that time, I sculpted fragile clay jewelry. Just an experiment with self-hardening clay because I didn't have an oven. I wanted to string little flowers on a necklace. But quickly noticed that the petals were breaking off. To complete them, I also gave them a color. My dream was to sell these buildings. But, because they were so fragile, I soon had to put that dream away. I gave the medium a bracelet with fragile flowers.

Many people had already spoken to them when she lit my gem. “This young woman is creative in making jewelry,” she said.

I thought, “Well, that's not hard to say that either. I dropped one off. I didn't make myself known right away. But she did look my way. Then she continued that she wanted to say something about my future

I thought, “I don't believe that”

But what turned out years later: indeed, she was right.

Then she suddenly said, “There is a ghost behind you that loves you very much. She constantly throws “lilies of the valley” over you.

I think it was my twin sister. After birth, she only lived 14 days because of a malfunctioning heart. So we were fraternal twins who had spent 9 months close to each other in Mom anyway. In my childhood, no matter how strange, I had the feeling that I missed her for a long time. But she did not live long on this Earth. So I didn't really know her consciously.

Medicine used to use diluted “Lilies of Dale” as a medicine to improve heart function.This is what I discovered afterwards.

However, snowdrops are poisonous. They stand in a garden just to enjoy their fragile beauty and to announce the arrival of spring to you.
