This Mediterranean introduction is usually an escape from gardens or to be found, as this one was, where an old garden once was situated. This particular patch of plants was inaccessible so the photo is taken with the zoom lens from some distance away. In spite of its name: Summer Snowflake, it flowers in mid Spring as opposed to Leucojum vernum (Spring Snowflake) which flowers in winter or very early Spring.

L. vernum is mostly found naturalised in the countryside of southern Britain with only scattered sites in the north. It is scarce in Scotland , Ireland and Wales except near the Welsh border.
