I see Spring Snowflake. Snowdrops bloom earlier in March. Leucojum Vernum or Spring Snowflake

Actually, you are right, Jessica, although it looks like a snowdrop; it is actually a spring snowflake (Leucojum Vernum)

The way to tell is that snowdrops, have 3 longer outer petals and 3 shorter inner ones and usually the inner ones have the green spots.

The spring snowflake though, has 6 equal petals and each have the spot at the end.

I stand corrected. It does appear to be a Spring Snowflake (a different tribe of the Amaryllidoideae subfamily to Galanthus sp.) . Nice shot too!

Thank you all for your input! I know the Drowdrop variety bloom earlier in February and March.
