I've seen people saying that this flower has an うまそう name. Why is that? Does
it sound similar to some candy or what?

Examples include <https://twitter.com/hanabot_aph/status/699851458590543872>
or 24th episode of 怪盗セイントテール, where Asuka can't remember what the flower is
called and all he knows is that it has a tasty sounding name.

What is so うまそう about the flower name スノードロップ?
It's probably because ドロップ is a type of hard candy, similar to something like
"lemon drops" (though not necessarily lemon). See
[this](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%97)
wikipedia page for details.

It may also be because of the connection of スノー to スノーコーン(snow cone). I am not
sure how often this word is used in Japanese but you can see an example
[here](http://www.amazon.co.jp/Nostalgia-%E3%83%8E%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B8%E3%82%A2-%E3%81%8B%E3%81%8D%E6%B0%B7%E6%A9%9F-%E3%82%B9%E3%83%8E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B3%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3/dp/B004L8EXZA).
