This has to be the most beautiful snowdrop I've ever seen!

Could anyone tell me what variety it is, please?

There are clumps everywhere, but couldn't see a name tag...

    Well they look like bog standard Galanthus nivalis to me .

    If there are thousands the same you can bet they are a common type.

    Common maybe - but utterly delightful all the same. Stunning when en masse   image

    Absolutely gorgeous plant. I always think nature's versions are the best image

    Thanks All - all the other snowdrops I'd seen about were pure white and didn't have that lovely little green heart on the petal. I thought it was something more unusual image

    Mine sure don't have that green heat......just a couple green dots.  They've already bloomed and gone now, or I'd post a pic.
