It is a hyacinth. At one time someone would have planted a Christmas hyacinth out in the garden. Eventually they revert to bluebells but it can take some years for the bulb to shrink.

Well they don't revert to bluebells... they start to look more like them! Hyacinths are Hyacinthus orientalis whilst English bluebells are Hyacinthoides non-scripta and the Spanish ones are H. hispanica.

And ours stay exactly as they were when we planted them, except that they increase in numbers.
That does not look like a Hyacinth leaf to me and surely they have disappeared below ground by now? I would not like to speculate as to what it is though.

You tell him Moon! Do you two only contact each other by lap top or can you stick your head round the door? lol. I hope I am right that you two are together, married, siblings or partners.

the bulbs was a lot bigger than a hyacinth, about twice the size, that's the bit that is puzzling me. Lets see what other people say.

Don't worry Cam, I just stick two fingers up behind my lap-top screen - don't tell though ;-)))
Whilst I stand corrected on the name we have inherited these bulbs in the garden and also been guilty of planting Christmas hyacinth oursleves. My finding is that the quality of the hyacinth reduces over the years until it looks just like a bluebell and the bulb gets smaller but very slowley - they also pull themselves down into the ground a long way. Ours have only just finished flowering and I have been going round pulling off as many seed stalks as possible and digging up where I can.

0k guess what I keep being given chrissie presents and alas though I enjoy them, I let them die out and they're still struggling, might it be worth plonking them in the ground somewhere so they have a chance? might be worth seeing if so

I always put mine in the ground after flowering and they come up each year. I won't say a word Bulba!!

Crinum? That's what the leaves look like

Yes we do talk Cammomile but when i spotted himself's error he was down the garden so I figured I'd better put up a correction. Now the grandsons do seem to only talk via the computer and social media.
