I think that is Chionodoxa Pam. I plant a packet of these every year. They keep coming up and one day I will have them in every border. I have a pure white one in flower now.

Groan, don't talk about lost labels. I lost so many just obliterated by the sun, wind and rain. I DK why burying the name did not work either. Maybe the slugs licked them clean. I invested in a label printer but did not like the white plastic I stuck them on. I have difficulty remembering all the names nowadays so again I invested in black plastic labels and I stick the printed label on that then pop it in with the name away from the path. They kind of disappear in to the landscape but I can easily check when I get stuck on a plants name.
I cr but did you have this as Scilla. You might be interested in the Pacific Bulb Society web page saying Kew is accepting these as being syn. with Scilla.

It is hard to keep up or organise anything when the botanists are changing names to keep up with the progress made in establishing the DNA of plants. I have just looked at the labels from last years chionodoxa bulbs and there is nothing about name changes on there. Lol, it keeps us on our toes I suppose.
