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

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

Never mind he shall have to name it "springtime" or of some effect hehe

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?

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