It's Leucojum vernum - a close relative of the snowdrops. Widely available and quite cheap to buy and easy to grow too!

There are 33 suppliers currently listed on the RHS Plantfinder:

thanks steve ~ do you think thats £3.74 for one bulb? im assuming these grow from bulbs or corms?

Weren't they mentioned in a blog today / yesterday? About a snowdrop walk or something. It's after midnight so I'll look it up tomorrow - if you haven't found it by then.

yes they were ~ thanks beattie ~ i have it in my blog but its in another one too ~ it also tells you a web site you can buy it from ~ but the postage was nearly as much as the plant!!!

You should be able to buy a bag of bulbs for a few pounds later in the year.

good thinking, thanks bulbaholic.

That was for one that seems expensive to me as I agree with Bh Its a very pretty though

Eurobulbs (http://www.eurobulbs.co.uk/acatalog/snowdrops.html) are giving 50 away free if you spend £50 with them.

thank you owdboggy. at the moment i dont have £50 to spare but its a good offer ~ thanks for letting me know

B&Q were selling pots of 3 for about £4 in our neck of the woods.

Sorry it was 20 L. Gravetye Giant which was included, very similar, just bigger.

that sounds good SBG ~ thank you.
