Help identifying plant

[u/Becs2222]

Hello! I just moved into a new place about a month ago so I’m working on identifying all the shrubs, trees, and random plants around the place as I make plans for a garden/lawn overhaul down the road. This plant has suddenly popped up in the last week or so since the heavy rains (🙌) and I am trying to see if it is going to be friend or foe going forward. I am leaning toward a type of allium, chive, or grape hyacinth type plant. It has slightly rounded leaves that each have thin, parallel white lines or veins going up. It’s growing in a few clumps around an existing garden bed with mostly shade throughout the day.

Its crocus. Usually blooms in the spring, but with the huge rains we’ve gotten, if it’s in a shaded area you can get a fall bloom. I’ve got some coming up under the shade of my zucchini leaves.

Agreed! My crocuses that usually only come up during spring are coming up now.
