I'd often admired these tiny flowers that appear on the block in spring and wondered what they were - The answer came unexpectedly when I was weeding and trying to pull out some fleshy looking grass - tough to remove as it has these corms - in this case two of them. These gave me the clue I needed and I discovered that this is, in fact, Onion or Guildford Grass (Romulea rosea). Not great news, as it's an invasive South African plant. I'm sure any gardener who has it 'ruining' their lawn could have told me what it was. Still, the flowers are very pretty. Next goal is to identify this, also tiny, plant. Any ideas?
