Jim I find that a strange suggestion. Leucojum aestivum normally has the trivial name Loddon Lily in the UK, named after a tributary of the Thames about 15 miles from my home, alongside which it grows "wild". If she uses the latter name in the book you can rule out the snowdrop name presumably. I will see Avon bulbs at the RHS/AGS show in London on Tuesday and will consult them, if I remember. Thinking about it, I have never seen them in the wild and may go and try a few habitat photos for the wiki.
