    Can anyone identify this plant/flower? (the one with the six petal flowers, not the Lily of the Valley). It grows in Kelowna and Vancouver, can grow in very little light, is a small bulb, and just finished blooming in May. My mom calls it a 'Pushinka' which means 'fluffy' in Russian, but I couldn't find anything that looked like it under that name.
    Thanks,
    Marlene

    There is another bulb genus named Puschkinia.
