Dainty little snowdops were growing in clumps amidst the bracken by the side of the road at Cholesbury Bottom. Note the little green inverted V at the base of the inner petals - this is a little store of chlorophyll which the plant has in its petals to help sustain it at a time of low sunlight, maximising its ability to photosynthesize. Too see this clump in its setting, see [[[2844375]]]
