I have a number of them growing under a clump of cherry trees and I wonder if I have discovered a new variety as I can not find any referance to it on the internet. Thanks for looking. GandT

The photos you have found certainly look similar to my unusual Hyacinthoides. I wonder how they came to grow there as I have not noticed them before. Do you think they will appear again next year and will they multiply? Thanks again GandT
