I think they are bluebells, spanish ones probably.
I've already got a handfull of these in my garden and not keen on having
more.
My immediate thought was Spanish bluebell. If you have even one in
your garden you will soon have more! I have battled with them
unsuccessfully!
Don't give up. Spray with glyphosate, and after a couple of days remove
the leaves. That gives enough time for the glyphosate to be absorbed and
get down to the bulb. New leaves will appear. Spray again - and so on.
You may need 4 or 5 attempts, but you will get it in the end. But you
must be vigilant; as soon as new seedlings appear, pull them up before
the bulb gets too deep.
