Couple of plants for ID
Hi folks!
Can anyone ID a couple of plants for me please. The first is basically a long stem about a foot high with two pointed leaves at the bottom and the strange alien flower head you can see in the pic. I think I must have inherited it when my aunt gave me a bunch of lily bulbs. The second plant to ID just appeared one day.
Cheers

First one is a type of chive, can't remember name. Double check by rubbing and see if it smells oniony! Last one looks like a euphorbia

If the yellow flowers belong to the leaves on the last photo, it is a wallflower.
I think the first, chive type thing is Allium vineale "hair"

I was thinking of chive 'cha cha' but now I'm not so sure
Oh yes fidget that seems more like it
I think chive cha cha is also a distinct possibility. If it is big, there is also Babingtons leek, that forms onions on the top of its flower stems, or the Egyptian walking onion.
