I had noticed this years ago lost at the edge of daffodils amongst snowdrops in an area of lawn that had these bulbs when we came here in 1989. Finally nabbed it this year after confirming the identification.
Four days later I understand why I usually miss it. Leaves are still there but flower head gone ! |
