I have posted 3 new photos, I need confirmation of what they are. One I found when digging a hole to sink in a pot, loads of bulbs, one growing out of another with these leaves coming out. I thought at first they were crocus very similar bulbs but much smaller.

Without looking at the pictures (sorry Dial up is so slow) I would guess that they are likley to be Crocsmia from your description. They come from strings of crocus like bulbs.

Ah, haven't run into crocosmia bulbs yet, Owdboggy. Thank you!

Csarina, the bulbs in your hand are close kin to a Gladiolus, but I realise that that covers a lot of territory. Judging by their size and persistence, maybe Watsonia?
The others, unfortunately aren't anything I recognise by leaves alone.
