This snowdrop gets its name from the long claw and broad spoon-shaped outer petals, hence the reference to a spoonbill. The inner petals have a dark green U mark that fades light green to the base. The outer petals are nicely green striped at the bottom. Quite large flower. Flowering time in March.
