Greetings All -
Need a hand in identifying a plant (see attached pic) that has cropped up in only one spot, but is multiplying. Noticed it late last year, thought I'd let it go a bit to see if it would bloom. But since it's expanding, thought it might be wise to consult with the true masters here. Any thoughts on what this might be? Thank you!!!

Maybe dig one up and see if there are any bulbs. My first thought is lily but they look a bit floppy so not 100% sure. Seeing the roots would be a big help.

Dianthus barbatus/Sweet William is my guess.
