Flower ID help.

A few weeks ago, some flowers came up on the east side of the house. I have no clue what they are. They were obviously planted and are perennial.

Here they are. The picture isn't perfect, but the flowers are a pale blueish white, more bluiesh around the edges of the petals. One flower to a stalk. Leaves are long and thin and come up in a clump/rosette. Flowers followed a week later. They've stayed up for a couple weeks and are just now starting to fade/die.

Any ideas?

Glory in the snow, a chionodoxia, would be my guess but I say that with little confidence.

Her is one pic I found.

yes, i can say with confidence that those are definitely Glory-of-the-Snow.

Even though the flower petals look very different? The ones on my plant are clearly overlayed . . . they almost look more like sepals than petals, three on top, three on bottom, with each unit level appearing to be related.

hrm that's a good point - i didn't look closely enough at the pic. the depth of the center where the pistil and stamens are also recommend against chionodoxia. how tall is the stalk?

Six to ten inches.
