Lovely picture, Hugh. They may very well be Elwesii types. I know
there
are other broad leaf snowdrops but I can't imagine anyone planting really
special (aka 'expensive') snowdrops in a common verge.

I thought that perhaps they might have been planted in memory of someone.
They're just at the entrance to a village next to the village name sign.

Mmm..you could be right. I hope it was a happy memory and not a traffic
accident. I have used Crocus 'Remembrance' to mark pets' graves, plus basic
snowdrops. I almost wish I hadn't though: when the snowdrops bulk up, I
won't want to disturb the graves to split them up :~(.
