This plant is very prolific and grows from a small bulb and its now emerging. It is so prolific that I have had to pull them in some areas. I had the name but I have forgotten and need help now. Thanks

I don't recognize that pretty bloom but I'll move this over to the Plant ID Forum where it will get more views and hopefully someone will recognize it!

Buds of unopened flowers remind me of Freesia.

Silversurfer it is not a freesia. I am sorry cause the pic does not make justice to the plant. The seeds are reddish maroon.
