Snowdrops, one of the first flowers to bloom as winter fades, have captivated herbalists, magicians, and folklore enthusiasts for centuries. Revered for their symbolic association with hope, purity, and renewal, these delicate blossoms feature prominently in rituals, healing practices, and seasonal celebrations like Imbolc and Candlemas. Beyond their symbolic value, snowdrops are a source of galantamine, a compound used in modern medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease and memory decline.
