Default Unknown flower/weed

It's Muscari comosum aka 'Tufted Hyacinth' Bob. The variety
'Plumosum' is the most commonly seen variant since the entire flower
head is a filamentous mass, which is allegedly more 'attractive'.
Both are relatively easy to grow in well drained or sandy soils but
will not tolerate being frozen solid and so are not entirely
successful in colder gardens.
