That's a long time to be in flower...
... well done !

its a lovely specimen gg.

Not easy to identify but think it most likely a form of Galanthus Elwesii, may be variety Monostictus size shape and time of flowering all fit pretty well.they are all a bit variable in shape your petals are quite elongated and pointed some seem more rounded on the ends.
there is more I could go into but starts getting technical and I certainly do not not consider myself to be an expert in naming them by any means.
Don'think we are far a way on it.

Hi Brian

Glad you up for a challenge .... I had a look at Monostictus which do have more rounded petals than the one I have .... hopefully because it flowers so early that should cut it down for naming ... well I hope so ...

thanks and it is appreciated

Thank you Terra & Seaburngirl

If you look at the last pic i posted 19 Nov at that time I had flowering under cover G. Elewesii Hiemalis the petals are more pointed similar to yours ,I am afraid I have no live flowers they are all gone.

Hi Brian

I sent the photos to "Avon bulbs" and looking at emails this morning Alan the head nurseryman has also informed me they are :
elwesii hiemalis

thanks again

So now we all know. I call them all Snowdrops. We
have to stop somewhere.
