Can anyone ID the above flower ? The blades of grass should give a good idea of the height of its stem. Flowering now from early March and growing in a large public garden close to some tree roots.

Another image of this flower, showing the centre, in case it rings any bells. It has been suggested to me that this may be Chionodoxa ( a plant native to parts of Eastern Europe and a close relative of the Scilla or Squill ) but the centre does not seem right to me.

Hi Ian I think theses are Ipheion uniflorum wisley blue, spring star, or spring starflower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipheion_uniflorum
