Thrilled to see this little gem, but what is it called please. Your expertise is much anticipated and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Always helpful to see the whole leaves as well as the flower, WSGR. Flower markings can be similar on snowdrops of different species. (And that's before one considers those that are unstable in their markings according to age or growing conditions! ) I hope someone can help you with this!

It's impossible to identify the snowdrop from just this picture of the flower. However of all the snowdrops species that might have this marking, Galanthus elwesii is the most common in cultivation.

I lost label of this one, i received seeds from Tom Mitchell. I'm not a galantophile and not an expert in this genius.

Almost impossible, Yann. I imagine Tom Mitchell has access to seeds from every species going. Your photos show neither than base of the leaves (clearly) which would give clues nor the mark on the inner petal, which would also give clues. About all I can do is eliminate those species that have bright green leaves rather than the glaucous green of the picture.
