Brodiaea hyacinthina
Triteleia (Brodiaea) hyacinthina Lily Family (Liliaceae) Native Plant Perennial from round, scaly corm. Grows in open, grassy areas at low to mountain elevations. Very common in Willamette Valley and scattered northwards into Washington state. Also known as: hyacinth lily.
Native
Triteleia hyacinthina is native to and common in Oregon and across the west coast. However, this is a different plant as it lacks the ring of triangular stamen filaments forming a short crown around the top of a bowl-shaped tube in the center of the flower. This does look a lot like the widespread Allium neapolitanum.
Nice flowers - since you know the common name, could you look it up on google or some other search engine and add the scientific name, please?
