Can anyone help ID these bulbs please?

    I believe it’s Allium Nectaroscordum. I did have them in my garden but they’ve all disappeared bar one. It’s flowering but the stem is horizontal!

    That’s my thought too … I had them in a previous garden. Gorgeous honeyed scent. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    The common name is honeybells. The bees love them and they multiply in my garden.

    I know it as Nectaroscordum siculum, but apparently it's also called Allium siculum https://www.rhsplants.co.uk/plants/_/allium-siculum/classid.2000004525/
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
