Default Please help ID this mystery plant

Could someone ID this plant for me? I always thought it was wild garlic
but having googled wild garlic, it obviously isn't. It grows strappy
leaves much like snowdrops (get a lot of those too) and grows just after
the snowdrops finish. It reeks of onion, has a snowdrop like bulb
(although some have a second bulb below the first) but the flower is
really odd. The plant has a stem with a papery bag at the top, there are
a group of fleshy seed things in the bag and out of the bag drops a
narrow stem with a white bell shaped flower. Does anyone recognise it?
They're just finishing now, grow in drifts in the grass.
