This has been in flower for the last few weeks.
It's growing about 6ft from the road at the base of a retaining wall.
I took these pictures today in a spell of heavy sleet, so didn't take
as much care as I might have done.

Looks like Leucojum vernum known as Snowflakes as apposed to Snowdrops.

Sorry Bob, should have read the thread before I answered. But I think
you're right. Perhaps being against the wall has given it some
encouragement!
