Hi, victorgardener,
According to the way these genera are currently classified on this site, your photo is of a Scilla, rather than of a Chionodoxa, as shown by the internal flower structure. Chionodoxa has the perianth joined into a conical tube (compare to the other close-up photos here), while the plant in your photo has the separate stamens/anthers of Scilla.
Regards,
altagardener

What do you think Victorgardener. Do you agree that your plant might be Scilla siberica? http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/766/

Sorry! I was away for a few days when this came up. Yes - looks like it is Scilla.
