Fay Garden

Update:  My mother helped identify this flower as a blue snowdrop, typically found in Greece.  Snowdrop flowers are native to Europe, stretching from the Pyrenees in the west, through France and Germany to Poland in the north, Italy, Northern Greece, Ukraine, and an old European area now in Turkey.  Snowdrops have been introduced and naturalized globally throughout the world.  This may be an import of one of Richard Sullivan Fay's exotic floral treasures, which might have been seen here first in the nation ( www.springpondwoods.com/p/exotic-flora.html ).  In most countries certain species of this flower are threatened.

Flowers cover the ground in Lynn, near the site of where the Fay gardens near the mansion once lay, overlooking Spring Pond.
