The Snowflake 3 Miler


Lily of the Valley

Ran across these beauties on my 3 Mile Asbury Church run. It was good to see Spring coming out in such beautiful whites. My friend Pat in England has been sending pictures of Snowdrops which are everywhere in England at present. They look a lot like these. The run was good and brisk at 27:55 for 3 miles.

  1. Hey James. They are beauties but they aren't Lily of the Valley. They're called Snowflakes and are closely related to Snowdrops. Flowers are very similar to Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis), but leaves are different. Scientific genus Leucojum and probably L. aestivum.
