Lovely shots, khalid.
Yes, it is Galanthus nivalis, which, I think, is not indigenous to the Darmstadt region but a naturalized garden escape.

Thank you very much Thomas!

But these plants are in the middle of a mountain far from inhabited places. However it is true that I have not seen throughout the area. Darmstadt is not growth area of ​​Galanthus?  :'(
Maybe someone intentionally planted there, but there are hundreds of plants together under beech trees and Pinus sylvestris.

Vielen Dank.

Best regards.

Thanks Thomas

It's very interesant. That's incredible. This plant is extended throughout Germany, but it's synanthropic. I did not. I only know well the flora of my country, Spain. I live in Germany only one year and half ago. I hope to learn a lot with you.

Thank you very much.

There are just a few indigenous places. These are mostly small valleys formed by contributors to the river Danube. I know some of them ...  It is said that Galanthus nivalis survived the ice ages there.

That's very interesting, Khalid and Thomas.  I had to look up the meaning of the word 'synanthropic' but it's a great word that I feel I should have known before now.  It had already struck me that the snowdrops in Khalid's pictures seemed remarkably uniform.  That is probably indicative of the fact that they share a common ancestor.  Given favourable conditions you can go from one snowdrop to a very large number in, say, one hundred years.

In the UK it is thought that the common snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis, is entirely synanthropic.  Despite this you can find it in large drifts, including drifts of the flore pleno variety which does not set seed.

Oh Alan! Yes, in UK Snowdrops are introduced. It's amazing how humans can manipulate nature.

Some more pictures today:
