The first thing you'll notice is the ovary; it's long, quite large and a soft lemony-green, rather than the usual bright green.  Beneath it hang pure white, cupped outer segments, and the inners are marked with a tidy green heart-shaped mark to the apex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIt sits on a longer-than-average pedicel, so the flower swings out away from the stem and moves about with every bit of wind, which is lovely to watch on a breezy winter's day.  It's a good, easy doer that settles in quickly after planting and soon makes a clump.  Here in the North West, it flowers from mid January to early February.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFreda Cox records it as an introduction of the late Alan Street, named after the former Bankside garden at Blewbury in Oxfordshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"wrj-sources\" style=\"font-size: 0.75em; color: #8a8a8a; text-align: left; line-height: 1.5; border-top: 1px solid #e6e6e6; padding-top: 10px; margin-top: 28px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the background here comes from Freda Cox, \u003cem\u003eA Gardener's Guide to Snowdrops\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WRJ SNOWDROPS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57693279322438,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/0701\/0118\/files\/Bankside_1_-_CR1_8337.jpg?v=1793205566","url":"https:\/\/www.wrjsnowdrops.co.uk\/products\/bankside","provider":"WRJ Snowdrops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
