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?

Oh wow, I would be thrilled if it turns out to be a fritillaria!
