Can anyone tell me what this is please? It's snuck in amongst the daffodil foliage, and has the skinny leaves to the left.

Allium of some kind

Thank you

I think it's Star of Bethlehem, or Ornithogalum umbellatum.

But if it smells of onions Fairygirl is right!

No onion smell, so I think you are right @Asarum. Thanks

Ornithogalum umbellatum flowers have a green stripe on the back of the petals.

These have a thin pink line down the back of petals. Having googled a few images, the do look more allium like, but no onion smell?

My vote goes to Allium triquetrum....see link
Stem is triangular .....see pic.

Thank you @Silver surfer. The flowers do look very close, however the stems are round. I can definitely smell onion from the stem this evening though, so an allium of some sort.
