Long shot. I know how hard it is to id Snowdrops from pictures.

As usual the birds have removed the label.
TIA

It looks like Trymposter!

Labels are nice and most of us use them; but, when they vanish, don't fret! Enjoy the flowers!

Looking at the Trym ones we think it is one we bought as Trym, so thanks for the pointer.

'Trym' has produced a lot of seedlings but not many of them have outer petals that so closely resemble the inner petals as those of 'Trym' itself.  'Trympostor' was so-named because it resembles 'Trym' quite closely, although it flowers earlier and is more vigorous.  'Trypostor' is often misspelled as "Trymposter" (with an "e" instead of an "o") but that is a name I coined on this forum over a decade ago for a seedling raised by johnw.
