Snowdrops ndi zomera zokhala ndi maluwa oyera. Iwo ali a kasupe bloomers, mwachitsanzo, maluwa oyambirira a chaka chatsopano. Pali mitundu pafupifupi makumi awiri, yomwe imawoneka yofanana kwambiri. Dzina loyambirira lachi Greek limatanthauza "maluwa a mkaka".
Mwa mitundu makumi awiri, imodzi yokha imamera pano, yomwe ndi chipale chofewa chenicheni. Ndicho chifukwa chake timachitcha "chipale chofewa", nthawi zina komanso "March angel", chipale chofewa kapena chipale chofewa. Malingana ndi chinenerocho, pali mayina ena ambiri. Mitundu ina imamera kuchokera ku France kupita ku Nyanja ya Caspian.
The snowdrops overwinter ndi mababu. Aliyense ali ndi masamba ndi phesi ndi duwa. Duwa lililonse ndi laimuna ndi laikazi panthawi imodzi. Njuchi za uchi, agulugufe, ndi tizilombo tina timakonda timadzi tokoma ndi mungu monga chakudya chawo choyamba kumapeto kwa dzinja. Izi zimatulutsa mungu wamaluwa kuti mbewu zikule. Onse ali mu kapisozi imodzi.
Pa njerezo pali zowonjezera zomwe zimakhala ndi shuga ndi mafuta ambiri. Nyerere monga choncho. Choncho nthawi zambiri amanyamula mbewu kudzenje lawo. Iwo amadya zakuphazi koma osati mbewu. Choncho imatha kupanga chipale chofewa chatsopano ngati ili m'nthaka yabwino.
