When the snowdrop - or snow-strop as it has been dubbed - comes in to flower, two green eyes and a mouth turned down at the edges naturally appear on one of its petals. The striking specimen was first discovered and then bred by galanthophile Joe Sharman in a Cambridge garden in 1990.Spring is on its way but sad-faced snowdrop can't raise a smile
