Maybe it was Mexican Bluebell.
Reply:Galanthus is a type of snowdrop but taller than a blue bell.

I'll try to find a site for one and post it.

Edit

It's not a snowdrop, but a relation, called leucojum

The genus Leucojum now has only two species: L. aestivum and L. vernum but L. ... Leucojum vernum var. carpathicum (robust variant with yellow tepal spots) ...

Reply:was it a GM checked snowbell?
Reply:I agree - it sounds like a Fritillaria.
Reply:It's a snake's head fritillary Fritillaria meleagris. There are 2 color varieties of it a checkered purple and a pure white form.
