I concur with the bot. It’s definitely a leucojum, not a galanthus (aka snowdrop). The flowers are more rounded and circular in leucojum and they can often branch on one stem. Snowdrops have more separated, oblong petals, and only one flower per stem.

Here is a good article (with dissected blooms) to help differentiate between these two early spring beauties! https://www.morrisarboretum.org/blog/snowflakes-vs-snowdrops-pendulous-beauties-early-spring

Happy spring!
