I don't know the scale but going by the gumleaves the green leaves are smaller than agapanthus. Are those white flower buds in the photo? I would think of jonquil Narcissus tazetta or perhaps snowflake Leucojum aestivum. Wait for the flowers.

I think you are right Mike; the plant is smaller than agapanthus and yes the white bits are flower buds.

Yes, size is always hard to tell. Let's wait for the flowers to develop.

The flowers are probably out by now. Can anybody check? I can't see the location until they are identified.

Spelling of common name: Jonquil, just one l (according to Census and various other sources).
