Can you dig around the base and see whether there is a bulb or what root type it has?

did you have any fritillaries {imperial type} Its sort of similar. A lot of foliage to be an allium? as that was my second thought.

My OH says some of the cammasia did something similar last year, not that i remember!

I vaguely remember planting a bulb in that place but can't for the life of me remember what it is! (yet another 'senior' moment!) lol
I did plant a bag of fritillaries but they are in a tub, whereas this is in the main garden and there is only the one (as opposed to a bag full)

did you plant a foxtail lily? though its not quite right for that either. [well not like the ones in mine]

Looks rather similar to my Frittilaria persica...........

I think Meanie and Seaburngirl are on the right track here.
It's looking very healthy whatever it is.

Looks like Frittilaria persica. I have Hyacinths growing in several parts of my garden that I do not remember putting there and they are much larger bulbs than Frittilaria, so it is possible that you put one there when moving plants/compost?
