The common name is 'snow flake'. It is not really a pot plant. I don't know what your climate is like, but over here in the UK it grows outdoors in semi-shade and flowers in spring. You will then have a clump of leaves for a few months while it builds up the bulb for next year. It will then die down completely and reappear next year. The leaves will naturally get longer, but if you've had it indoors, it probably has not received enough light (light bulbs do nothing for plants - they need daylight). I would think the kindest thing to do with your baby is to plant it outdoors and just water occasionally until it dies down. I should then pop up again next year. Good luck!

This is charming and a good illustration of how green isn't just green - so many different colours and textures in one small spot. Lovely.

Oh, that reminds me of the farm again. These grew along the drive, where I once planted some clumps. We call them snowdrops, isn't that funny? Excellent shot of these tiny blooms.
