Leucojum aestivum, Summer Snowflake is available at <a href="http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/c-52-leucojum-summer-snowflakes.aspx" target="_blank">Easy To Grow Bulbs</a> and hardy to USDA Zone 4. My “winter snowflakes” are just starting to bloom now and have delighted many in my streetside garden and in bouquets for fifteen years.</p>
