From Haugesund. With 3 children and a husband who's seemingly constantly away on business, I garden like it could save my life - and it probably does!

#plant-id anyone? This is my mystery broad leaf variety. The leaves remind me of spring snow flakes, so perhaps it is some kind of mix? I'll post a close up of my "normal" snowdrops for contrast.

@richard.spicer.7906 I followed the leaves down to the base, and it looks like only two sets of the bunch are curled at the tip, so I don't know if they are supposed to do that. It looks like the green markings inside the bell are smaller but "greener" when I compare to my other snowdrops. The red/orange center seems more vibrant as well.

Interesting - I'm still looking online, but initially it looks a bit like a species one , either Galanthus woronowii , or another that I'm not familiar with - Galanthus ikariae - the leaves are quite green, glossy and have prominent lines/ribs down the centre and it might therefore be woronowii

I don't know @mariomartins, apart from the leaves I don't think it looks like any snowflake I've seen, and I have both the spring and summer variety of those. In my climate, the spring snowflake is gorgeous right now, but the summer variety probably won't show itself for several months yet.

I looked up your suggestion @richard.spicer.7906, and I do think it looks a lot like mine, so I'll go with that. Thank you so much for your research.
