Leucojum aestivum
Welsh: Eiriaidd

Also called the Loddon Lily as it was found along the banks of the Loddon a tributary of the Thames, its native status is as hotly disputed as the Snakes Head Fritillary. We now just supply this form as it proves much the best performer, originally selected by W. Robinson from his Sussex Estate. AGM Aut + Spr
