Maryl - Thanks for the possible place to start looking to ID this plant. It sure looks like it could be from the Galtonia family. It is almost on the invasive side here in my front garden border. I've pulled up probably 25 of them over the past 3 months. Some have huge bulbs with lots of roots. I don't like them in with my daylilies because they are competing with my daylilies for water and fertilizer.

No matter how big the bulb, the scapes and blooms on this unknown plant are tiny. If it produced big white or pink blooms, I'd probably spare them and plant them in their own area, but these serve no purpose to even the wildlife that I can observe. So they get tossed into the woody lot next door.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
