Picture of the Day for November 16, 2012

Another flower that I would ‘hunt for in the spring’, is the Glory-of-the-snow (Chinodoxa), originating in the alpine regions of Turkey, Crete and Cyprus, where each year it transforms the landscape from snowy white to blue. It’s therefore fitting that its botanical name comes from the Greek chion, meaning “snow,” and doxa, meaning “glory.”

I suppose one would be in glory seeing the snow melt and the flowers blooming after a long winter.
