I suspect you are correct, Alan.  There 's a Galanthus nivalis 'Oosterhouw' which was named around 2002..... edit - yes, I found it .... " found by Gert-Jan Van der Kolk in the garden of Klaas North House in Leens."

Info found in a  pdf  of Dutch 'drops, accessible from this post  in the Flemish Forum

This should give you the option to open the pdf direct :

I can confirm it too.
I have visited the place more than once. It is a lovely old garden.
