Intriguing mystery bulb

[Photo: emerging mystery bulb.]Last year, the landlords' kids and I rescued a bunch of bulbs, mostly of unknown species, from a garden down the street that was being replaced by sod by the new owner. We're looking forward to seeing what comes up this year. Today I noticed this beauty; I have no idea what it is. Anyone recognize it?

  1. It has a lily-like shoot, so it might be a fritillaria. See:
