They don't really work as they stand. The first snowdrop is the one that evolved in prehistoric times. The spring snowdrop implies that there is only one.

They don't really work as they stand. The first snowdrop is the one that evolved in prehistoric times. The spring snowdrop implies that there is only one. "The spring snowrop" actually does work in a highly poetical way, but you aren't ready for that. Try "She was like the first snowdrop of spring." or "She was like a spring snowdrop."
