Four petal snowdrop

Is this my lucky year?

More on March 2
I am triple lucky I have found two more! Thanks for the tip Rick they are four tepals and not petals!
I have spotted this form previously in this clump of snowdrops so it is not a just one off occurrence. One of the pictures is the normal three petal form from the same clump

    Let's hope so and that some rubs off

    Very interesting! I'm puzzling over the hairbrush though....

      It was the nearest thing handy to hold it up and I just wanted evidence before it wilted. Never intended to publish it!
