Yes, I´d think it´s G. woronowii - and a nice one with the green stripes at the tips of the outers.  :)

It's almost certainly Galanthus woronowii.  Galanthus ikariae can look quite similar and there are rare green-leaved forms of Galanthus elwesii but the chances of buying either of those from a discounter is vanishingly small.  It's all too common to find all snowdrops labelled as Galanthus nivalis, whatever the actual species.
Almost in Scotland.
