Are there markings on the outer petals? A picture of the closed flower or taken from the side might help. Failing those, I'd suggest C. sieberi 'Bowles' White.' My own is out now, early, and Marcus Harvey listed it recently I think.

No, having enlarged the pictured, I can see the stripes, so not BW. I can only think of biflorus ssp. mazziaricus but I'm not sure if that has a yellow throat. Mine has been in flower since March! and still going strong. A funny season.
