Can you help Identify this plant??

Hi - first post, please be kind!

I have this growing in my garden + I'm not sure what it is; I thought it was a variety of snowdrop at first but now I'm not sure. It's just started to bloom and I have several 'singles' and 1 large clump; the leaves smell of onion when crushed.

Some pics:

Thanks for any help I can get!

Might be an Egyptian Onion.

I don't know that plant but it is certainly an onion of some sort. See the little bulbs forming where the flowers are? Garlic and some onions do that. The fact that it smells like an onion pretty much confirms it.

I don't know its "official" name but it looks and sounds like some sort of wild onion. It does multiply (quite a bit) and can become a nuisance. I get rid of it whenever I find it in my yard.

The stems are triangular, if that helps. And I'm in the UK as well............ someone else doesnt' think it is in the alium family?
