Forgot. Got a couple of those here right now; when I earlier saw a couple of buds, I was thinking it was a couple of tulips. However, when they opened up a bit, I could see it wasn't. Then when they got going well, it was these fuzzy balls ... whose name I forgot, tho' I'm the one who bo't a couple of the bulbs & put them in with my tulips! Sorry! :rolleyes:
EDITED to add: Didn't recall how big they get so, when I saw a couple of them out there just half-bloomed, I picked one & bro't it in. It's gotten much bigger just since being in the house a couple of days, even, and is rounding out more into the ball that it usually gets to be. Interesting flower ....

Looks like some variety of allium to me.

You're right, Linda! Also, I came back to say they're not bulbous flowers, after all, either, as I wrote earlier. After I wrote that, I then remembered that the bulb or two I planted that was/were not (a) tulip(s) was/were planted at the end of the tulip row, not right in the middle where these things were growing!
After having it in the house a couple of days, I realized that it has the tiniest of seeds [smaller than mustard, even] at the ends of those feathery petals. So, they must've flown there from some other ones in the yard here. ;)
BTW, the bulb(s) that is/are not (a) tulip(s) is now grown up enough to be looking like it has lily-like leaves ... no buds yet. Therefore, knowing my love for brightly colored day lilies, it's most likely one of those that I forgot about, not having labeled it/them. :rolleyes:
