Requesting to please ID this plant with white bell like flowers captured in Chicago, Illinois, USA in May 2013. Leucojum sp., most probably L. vernum (Amaryllidaceae) Thanks … for the lead, bang on. Following on your lead, it looks like Leucojum aestivum since the flowers are in an umbel and the flowering was in May (information source – Wikipedia). …, you are right, your plant looks like L. aestivum, the Summer Snowflake (flowers in umbels).
Seemingly, it is often confused with L. vernum (the Spring Snowflake, with solitary flower); check this site. Suggested link Thank you so much …
Primel and Schneeglöckchen (Galanthus) from Ritterhude: Enjoy, the Sun is shining.
