Leucojum aestivum

The summer snowflake flowers only a little after snowdrops have finished; it is much taller, with strappy leaves, and up to eight flowers on a stem. The six green-tipped tepals are all the same length, whereas snowdrops have three long outer, three short inner tepals, so it's easy to distinguish between them.
