    I got some bulbs given me last year and I forgot all about them. I think this may be a camassia?

    Annie—No, it isn’t.
    It looks a bit like Agapanthus or perhaps Triteleia laxa.

    Yes!! That's the key. The stems on the Agapantha are leafless and those of Camassia have scattered alternate leaves. I see the difference now with the comparison of the camassia photo to my Agapantha photo. The basal leaves are similar though.

    Thanks @Sjoerd

    No worries, Annie. They are both lovely aren’t they.
