    Camassia.

    The flowers look more like Pushkinia scilloides to me @BobTheGardener

    Mmm. All the Puschkinnia I have grown all have a blue central vein on the flower.
    One of the Ornithogalum perhaps? Check out O. nutans.

    No problem @BobTheGardener. Done it mtself! Also I've often written a post in answer to a question only to discover someone else has beaten me to it whilst I was typing! Its easily done and you just have to laugh.
    By the way, welcome to the forum @steve3504hall! Those are lovely plants you have there.

    I'm sure it's an ornithogalum, but couldn't say which.
