Can anybody help me to identify this plant? We have moved house and this appeared in the garden.

  Possibly an Allium of some sort?

  Nectaroscordum.  One of my favourites.  Lovely flowers and quirky seed heads.

  Thank you everyone.  I thought it was a type of allium but other than that had no idea.  As you say the seed heads are lovely too. I will be sowing the seeds so I can increase the numbers.

  I have planted a couple of these and they flowered for the first time. Funny how the flowers hang down, but the seed heads stand up. From what I understand it takes years for seeds to grow big enough to flower.
