      Hi @Sheal ,

      It's Ornithogalum Balansae .

      It's a hardy bulb, but looking a bit bedraggled cuz it's been battered by rain. It should stand about 6" high.

              I can't say the Sophora microphylla is looking that good as it lost a lot of leaves when they were covered in ice.

                It looks better than the one that I had coming along from seed which is probably dead. It's harder to say if my Sophora davidii is dead as they are late into leaf in a good year.

                              Yours is looking better than ours. It had just started flowering when the bad weather hit and it killed off all those flowers and buds. It's now coming on well, with lots more buds showing but nowhere near as open as yours. We've lost about 90% of the leaves - half of which are still hanging on to the tree, but dead. :sad:
