The delicate white flowers, with their distinctive bell-shaped heads and narrow green leaves, are artfully arranged against a decorative lacy border. The intricate fretwork design of the border adds an elegant and ornate touch to the card, reflecting the ornate and intricate design sensibilities of the late Victorian era. Snowdrops have long been associated with the New Year and the arrival of spring, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the end of winter.
