Question
This lily volunteers in my garden in Harrisville, NH. It likes very wet soils and grows 6"-8" tall It is a spring bloom and grows from a small bulb. Perhaps it is an escape or survivor from a former garden?
Answer
Dear DavidBlair, the plant in the images appears to be Ornithogalum umbellatum (nap-at-noon), a member of the Hyacinthaceae. This species is native to Europe and is infrequently naturalized to the states of New England. Thank you for sharing the excellent photographs.
