Default Plant ID please

Aren't you paying attention, dude?

Its still Allium aflatunense.

Definitely NOT an Agapanthus. They are not similar.

Agapannthus have zygomorphic flowers, do not have bulbs and do no have an
onion-like odor.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. After looking at the pictures I

agree it
could be either the allium or agapanthus. I'd need to see both plants

close up
to make a call. Stephen, does the agapanthus also grow from a bulb? I

suppose
I could go looking for a bulb if it doesn't and that would make for a good

ID.

Either way, these guys are beautiful. I don't know where they came from.
Either blown in seed or some squirrel burying bulbs?

Thanks everyone,
Laura B.

I agree it is an ornamental allium. However, there is a very similar
plant that is grown in gardens: Agapanthus or "Lily of the Nile" from
South Africa.
