thank you! I found these in my yard this spring and love them, but I had no idea what they were until I found them here. I need more, much more!

This snowflake arrived spontaneously in my garden a few years ago… And last year, it was blooming for the first time. I haven’t seen buds this year yet, but the plant is still there.
No idea how it arrived in my garden. The species is rather rare in Belgium, but in the region were I live, it’s sometimes found in boggy area’s. It has been found not so far from where I live, but my garden isn’t boggy at all. I presume mine is a garden variety, who’s bulb probably arrived here with some other bulbs.

i think they are one of those plants that if they like you, they go mad! i have huge clumps all over the place, including in the middle of a waterlogged paddock – they get trampled and driven over but come back even better every spring.

I have a horrid feeling I have lost mine. Bought a small one two years ago and it was definately still there last year but I dont think I have seen it this.
