Looking for the identity of a small white flower, with six petals, grown from a bulb.?

This flower has just started blooming in my flower garden but the plant itself has been there all winter. It grows from a bulb, was obviously planted there by someone previously, has thin, long leaves, the flowers open in the day and close in the evening. The bulbs they grow from seem to have spread on their own. The flowers start out looking like little wild onions before they open. They don't seem to have a very prominent fragrance. I live in North Texas and these flowers are on the North side of the house, mostly in shade. They are only about six inches tall. Pretty and delicate in appearance.



I've never seen this flower before and would like to know what it is. If anyone has any suggestions of the name I could look it up and see if any match this description.



Thanks for any help.

Reply:Hi,



Sounds to me like an Allium, but having no photo, I can not say which species this is, as there are over 1250 different species.



There are many ornamental oinon's you can grow in your garden, most are white flowered, but some species are reds, blues, purples.



Sorry to be not much help.
Reply:Crocus?

Hippeastrum?

Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica?

Reply:Maybe Lily of the Valley or Snow drops.
Reply:Could be Chionodoxa or Scilla. Both flower around this time of the year and prefer woodland conditions. They are usually blue but there are white forms of both.
