Is this a lily ?

[Howlandbreathe]

Can anyone help identify this flower please ? It's an old garden full of traditional snowdrops lily of the valley aquilegia - obviously not all at once

Yes, a lily, sometimes called Turk's Cap or martagon lily.

the garden sounds lovely.

Agree, looks like L pyrenaicum but when i've seen that flowering it had a sort of purplish base to the buds

Lucky you! sounds like a garden full of treasures
