The flowers are just over an inch(old money sorry dont do new)on 6 to 7 inch stems.I honestly cant remember whether they were seeds or bulbs.

Wondered about Chlidanthus fragrans.
And how about this one?

No idea at all, never planted it or sowed the seeds where it is, in the middle of Sedum spurium.

Found it, typical looking for something else, it is a small flower of Romulea bulbocodium. Would still like to know how it got there. Last time I tried to grow this bulb was 6 or7 years ago!
