Hi Evelyn, welcome to the Forum. Your picture was a bit too big to see clearly so I have re-sized it to 760 pixels wide and reposted it for you.

All I can tell you is that I know it's a snowdrop!! Not much help there, eh?

Hahaha thank you Maggi

I doubt if anyone can help you with this one.  I think the marks on the outer petals are a bit broader than on a pure Galanthus nivalis. I think I see slight folding on the back of one of the leaves so probably a nivalis x plicatus hybrid.  Other than that I don't see any distinguishing features.

What about the good old S Arnott?

It looks nothing like 'S. Arnott'.

This is the problem of trying to identify single mark hybrids

Tell me which one then! It definitely looks like a hybrid maybe Magnet

Oh good grief!! It doesn't look anything like 'Magnet' either, and I'm not sure how to answer your demand for a cultivar name or your insistence that it must be a cultivar without causing offence - so I won't.

Youre right it could be anything Martin, but i feel not offended, just a bit dissapointed when one says it looks "nothing" like that, without proposing other possibillitys.

Because, like Alan, I don't think there are other possibilities, and I can't just go trying to put a name on something I don't have any reason to believe has a name.

[Martin Baxendale]

And I said that it looks nothing like S Arnott because it looks nothing like S. Arnott. Sorry if that sounded impolite to you, but it's not an English phrase that is usually considered very rude.

one problem is your photo shows a flower trapped behind all those leaves. Can you post a new photo?

It was Evelyn who posted the 'mystery' snowdrop. 

It would be helpful Evelyn if you could post both a close-up of the flower (with mark) anf also the arrangement of the leaves.
