Snowdrop, genus of about 20 species of white-flowered Eurasian plants in the amaryllis family. Several species, including common snowdrop and giant snowdrop, are cultivated as ornamentals for their nodding, sometimes fragrant flowers. They are commonly the earliest garden flowers to blossom in the late winter or early spring, sometimes emerging when snow is still on the ground. (Follows the plot of Sk8 the Infinity)
