Do you know what these flowers are...?

Question

I have some in my garden that look identical, and I think they are snow drops, but what is the botanical name for them? Any other information about them would be appreciated.

Also, do you think they look pretty?

Answer 1

 Galanthus nivalis is the botanical name of Snowdrop which is the  most widespread representative of a small genus of about 20 species in the family Amaryllidaceae.

It species from Russia to Europe, widely naturalized throughout Europe in woodlands and near streams. and their Blooming time is early spring, from January through March, depending on the location and variety.

Answer 2

The botanical name of this flower is Leucojum aestivum. Common name of this flower summerflake or giant snowflake. There are about 10 species of snowflakes. Spring snowflake (L. vernum) has broader leaves and shorter flower stalks, and blooms a little earlier in the season. Autumn snowflake (L. autumnale) is smaller with threadlike leaves and blooms in the autumn. L. roseum also blooms in the autumn, but with just one rose colored flower per scape. Mentone snowflake (L. nicaeense) has pink flowers appearing later in the season and is not hardy north of zone 7. The related snowdrops (Galanthus spp.) bloom in the late winter, often piercing the snow; they can be recognized by the dissimilar sizes of their outer and inner tepals; snowdrops do not tolerate hot climates and are grown no further south than zone 7.

They look so pretty in the gardens. I also like these flowers. I decorate them on special occasions in the vase like on party or function.
