When I bought them many years ago they were labelled Aestivum 'Gravetye Giant' and referred to in the catalogue as giant summer snow drops.

I planted a few bulbs from CostCo many years ago and they keep multiplying. I didn't keep the packaging, though, so until I stumbled upon your blog I thought that they were Lily of the Valley which don't actually thrive where we live in southern California. I'm so glad to find out what they are and am planning to plant more this fall. Thanks, and love your blog! I love these flowers too!
