Default Plant ID please :-)

We have some bulbs in the back garden (quite prolific) which produce leaves
just like a daffodil but the flowers are tiny and more like lily of the
valley.

Generally three small white flowers per stem with six or seven green tipped
petals.
No scent.

They are O.K. (I suppose) and seem to have produced a bit more flower this
year after being disturbed.
However the ratio between flower and foliage is not particularly impressive
compared to tulips, daffs et al.
I can see that they might be attractive in a woodland setting but they seem
to take up a lot of space and produce a lot of green just to produce a few
tiny flowers.

You can guess that they might be not long for this garden.

Cheers
