Leucojum vernum, Spring Snowflakes, Amaryllidaceae

Genus and species:  
Leucojum vernum
Common Name: Spring Snowflakes
Family Name: Amaryllidaceae

A European native, this plant has no cultivars. It blooms multiple little bell shape flowers with a green spot, and has star shaped foliage that looks a lot like that of a daffodil.
