A genus of small spring-flowering plants in the lily family with small purple or pink flowers.
From Latin 'bulbus' (bulb) combined with Greek 'kodion' (possibly related to a vessel or belly), describing the plant's bulbous growth form.
Bulbocodium vernum is one of the earliest spring flowers in Europe, often blooming while snow is still on the ground—its name essentially means 'spring messenger bulb' in botanical language.
