Leucojum aestivum - aestivum meaning flowering in summer but this varies with locality. In central Sweden where Linnaeus its namer lived it flowers in June, here in the UK it flowers in late spring to early summer.

Thanks Ed and Craig. Leucojum is a fine bulbous subject to follow on from its lower growing look-alike, the snowdrop.

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotiv.
