We moved to a new house and this plant (from bulbs) is growing profusely but we don't know what it is. Can anyone help and let me know?

There are three species, leichtlinii, cuisickii and esculenta, plus a few forms with either darker or lighter flowers. There is a white one form too. The one you have is most likeky C. leichtlinii.
C. esculenta has an edible bulb.
