Did you get your 'Finchale Abbey' from the same source as the Ebay stock MarK? Mine came from the discoverer so, although I haven't seen it flower, I know it is right. On reflection, I think I will hang on to them for a few seasons because they look best as a clump.

Yes mine too, and I think, like lots of snowdrops, they show their differences better in a clump.  Having been invited, I hope to go and see his garden next year.
