Hi. It looks like a Spider Lily.

[wendyquat]

It's some type of lily! There are so many varieties! But don't think spider as they are "hairy"!

This is known as a rain lily. Sometimes they give up and bloom when there is no rain.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I do not claim to be an expert but, I am growing rain lilies.
I bought them as rain lilies and the match the information and pictures on the internet. They grow from a small bulb roughly 1/2 an inch high and in diameter. The leaves look much like grass, narrow strands, about 10 inches long. The flowers are either white or pink depending on the variety and strangely they appear at the ends of what I described as grass leaves.

There have been many guesses-perhaps, one is right.

Most of the flowers we grow are hybrids, so even if you find the proper name and buy more they may not match. The same would be true of growing it from seed. I think the poster who suggested seed said it would take several years to grow from a seed to a blooming plant. If, you divide a plant, it will be exactly the same and it will get to blooming stage much sooner.

You stated it is a bulb. Why don't you wait until Jan or Feb
dig it out and see how to divide it. It it is a bulb, you will likely see smaller, baby bulbs around the main bulb. If, you separate them from the main bulb, they will be an exact match to the plant you want more of.

From your picture, your plant does not look like it is very old-there are no offshoots so, if you dig it up, you will not get many plants or bulbs when, you divide it. If, it is dormant when you lift it, even if you chicken out there will be little damage.

I think it is a pink agapanthus -- most of them here are blue or purple

Judging from the photo I'd say pink agapanthus as well. They are in bloom now so it would make sense.

The flowers are either white or pink depending on the variety and strangely they appear at the ends of what I described as grass leaves.

I bought our rain lily bulbs in the fall two years ago. Since they are bulbs, most bulbs will rot in wet soil so I added perlite and manure to our clayey sand or sandy clay Took a year for them to get established. I purchased 15 bulbs.
Now 2 years later each bulb has split into 4 or 5 plants and they are blooming their heads off. As stated the flowers are at the end of what I describe as looking like grass.
They are single flowers, not groups as in the op. Each flower is about the size of a silver dollar.

So far-they are bullet proof. Due to fine leaf structure, I've used PREEN on them. You would not want to need to weed them.
