Apologies for the incorrect spelling. It should be Acis trichophylla (syn.
Leucojum trichophyllum). I wouldn't say that it's exactly identical to A.
autumnalis. The petals are thiner and spreads open a little more. I obtained
the bulbs as A. trichophylla.
I wonder if your bulbs are properly named. The one time I flowered A.
trichophylla, I was struck by the shape of the flower; in profile, like a
ballerina's tutu in Swan Lake.
That is, spreading and curved, near hemispherical.
A. autumnale has a conical flower, more or less.
