I got my Leucojum vernum many years ago, from a friend in Wilton Connecticut. We were at her house enjoying a cup of tea. I mentioned that my snowdrops were in flower. She said hers were also, and we wandered outside to look. They were not snowdrops but snowflakes, spring snowflakes, Leucojum vernum, planted by a previous owner. She gave me some, which I took home, planted, and they thrived. As an aside - it pays to share plants. My friend had to have the septic system replaced and had she not given me some of her bulbs I would not have had any to share back with her. When we moved to New Jersey I moved many bulbs, including L. vernum. I don't fertilize or water them. They've never seeded that I'm aware of, but offset quite nicely, and flower freely. They're planted near an intermittent drainage creek, tucked among the roots of some moderately large trees. Probably a good idea to divide them soon, as it has been 10 or 11 years since they were planted. Elsewhere in the garden Narcissus Rijnveld's Early Sensation is well budded. Today is absurdly warm. Why do I fret that no doubt blizzards will arrive in time to blast the opening buds. Judy
