Leucojum flower
Leucojum, also known as St. Agnes' Flower or Snowflake. They are handsome plants. The flowers are pure white, every petal being tipped with green, dropping in a cluster of from 6 to 8 blooms, each nearly one inch long.
They grow freely in almost any soil, sandy loam being preferable. Increased by off-sets from the bulb, or by seed as soon as it is ripe.
The spring snowflake blooms in March, the summer variety in June. The latter is a much more vigorous plant than the former. Their height is twelve to 18 inch.
