Without seeing the whole plant it's hard to say, but it looks to me like Camassia cerulenta aka quamash.

aah well all we have was the date of when it was taken and that was May 2008!!
Never mind he shall have to name it "springtime" or of some effect hehe

I think it is a Camassia, before the buds open. Almost all the google pix show the open flowers but I found with the bud showing. hehehe xxx

Hi there, I don't think it is grape hyacinths . I'm pretty sure it could be unopened bluebells.

You and me both, Sigbammy

I'd agree with you Bamboo

Bluebell?
14 Sep, 2009
Yep, I would say bluebell too, probably Spanish bluebell, which is larger and not so graceful as our English one.

Well probably, but a) its not open b) leaves much more important for ID c) what time of year was it and d) pic of whole thing to judge height would be good. Sorry, mookins... could also be scilla
