Maybe it was an off-set or a seedling and the parents died. I prefer hyacinths when they get to this size, they suit my garden better than those lumpy ones
Thanks for all the suggestions, I think it probably is a hyacinth having had a look at some pictures on-line. I will double check when I get home later.
It's entirely possible it's come up every year and I just haven't noticed!

It's not Chionodoxa, wrong stem & flower, definitely a small Hyacinth.
Sorry BizzieB but there are white Chionodoxa. I have two lovely big clumps of them in the garden.
And I am beginning to think it is a poor Hyacinth. Though why it should suddenly appear after three years is a mystery.

Or, as far as three of my customers are concerned, they smell horrible!
They're OK in the garden, a bit too much in an enclosed space.
Smell is a matter of taste though. One usually popular one that I hate is Philadelphus

Hello Berghill, thank you for your gentle correction
I'm embarassed to say that I had the white Chionodoxa come through in my garden under the tree with the blue
. A lovely early show of colour.
