A Little Snowdrop

 Snowdrops (Greek gála "milk", ánthos "flower") are the flower for the month of January. 
I think they're beautiful. 
"The snowdrop and primrose our woodlands adorn, and violets bathe in the wet o' the morn."

"The morning star of flowers."

"Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,
  Chaste Snow-drop, venturous harbinger of Spring,
    And pensive monitor of fleeting years!"
