I've checked all the flower books I have and can't find it. It's growing like a spring bulb, up every spring near other bulbs. Any ideas?

Some will also place it in the lily family as well. Here's an image: http://www.flickr.com …s/24984201@N00/468904209/ Elizabeth

I admit that I am not a huge fan of Wikipedia, but it usually has a decent list of genera under family names, so I started clicking on them, or pasting the genera in a new page. I would look up the images from there until I found one that matches. So, I started out with this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyacinthaceae Elizabeth
