Snowdrops


In this deciduous forest Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are flowering since christmas.




Beautyful, but a bit too early...






The reddish twig is from a Yellow Dead-nettle (Lamium galeobdolon subsp. montanum), a perennial plant that often has some leaves even in winter. They turn red when it gets colder.
