Can't be snowdrops... can they?

I think these are hybrid bluebells, Hyacinthoides x massartiana

Cheers Treecreeper. I've looked at the photos on-site for hyacinthoides, and they do look like the white bluebells there<smil> (I was a bit to ask the Q to be honest)

I wonder whether they might be "Snowflake" Leucojum vernum - I've got some in my garden and they look just like that

Hybrid bluebells I think - white versions are fairly common.

Hi Alan,don't ever worry about asking a question I have some in my garden back home too and hadn't a clue what they were.

Oh yes silly me - petals tipped with green or yellow - possibly variety Leucojum vernum 'Carpathicum'

I think they probably are a bluebell hybrid - the bells arn't really rounded enough to be a Snowflake are they
