Glory of the WHAT?!?

"Scilla section Chionodoxa, known as glory-of-the-snow, is a small group of bulbous perennial flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae subfamily Scilloideae.  Formerly treated as the separate genus Chionodoxa, they are now included in Scilla as a section."  - "They" said; which may account for me:-
A. Not ever being sure which I'm looking at.
B. Thinking of them as Scillodoxa ;¬)
I'm forced to admit that, while I did see Blencathra with a modest white blanket on yesterday, we seldom have any Snow in March/April for them to glory in.
Plan A - Nip upstairs and see what Blencathra looked like.  It looked like a grey cloud.
Plan B - My customary "wander and click", with my "Thick Dogs" (Dens Canis) in mind.  They'd been and gone.
Plan C - Look in Front Garden instead.
Result - "Scillodoxa."
It was nearly not raining after lst night's 0.8" ≈ 20mm in about 8-9 hrs. so I managed to wander and click and come back in almost dry.
