Please help me identify the following bulbs I planted in my garden earlier this year?

I bought some "tulip" bulbs from a local farmers market about this time last year and didn't get round to planting them till VERY late (I think they went in in April, not the October date as advised by the vendor).

I know I bought some dwarf versions as well as the "full sized" ones which accounts for the height differences.

However, all the bulbs have come up blind, however not flowered.

No one seems to know what they actually are other than they're clearly not Tulips.

One person has advised to dig them all out as otherwise they'll spread like "wildfire" and be like day of the triffids! Others have advised either thinning them out or leaving them to see if they flower next year....also seeing as they deffinately are a bulb will they spread if they haven't flowered? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this whole gardening thing...hence the username!!

Has anyone got any idea what it is that I've planted - they've got a very nice frond form, however they'd be nicer if they'd flowered!!

Thanks in advance,
