When is a snowdrop not a snowdrop? When it's a snowflake.

I went to see the snowdrops at Cambo in Fife recently and spotted one I thought was lovely - only reticence stopped me from calling my companions to say I had found a special snowdrop. I now know, it is actually Leucojum - all Snow drops have 3 outer petals and 3 inner, while the Snoflake has 6 outer - so you see, I am managing to learning the odd little thing on my course. Still beautiful though.
