So I got some free bulbs with some compost I ordered several months ago, and they had no labels.

    Some kind of allium? (Total guess).

    It looks as if it's going to have daisy -like petals.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Maybe camassia?  Mine start off like that before opening out.  Blue and white forms available.

    They look similar to my camassia at the moment, although my foliage is more upright than yours. Mine are in shade most of the day except the morning.

    I'd say Camassia. They need soil that doesn't dry out, so if it's in a spot that drains quickly, it would be best to move it. They're shade loving too, and get to several feet tall in the right conditions  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    So they started flowering a couple of days ago.

    Eremerus possibly - foxtail lily.  :)

    Did it have thick fleshy roots when you planted it?

    Gorgeous.   The ones I planted didn't take so now I'm jealous.
