Hi all

I am in Rockaway, NY (part of New York City) and I just dug this guy
(along with a few siblings) out from my broccoli patch. Any help on an
ID?

Fritillaria is a possibility, too. I would pot one up and find out,
just for kicks. Could be a keeper.

That possibility crossed my mind too. I've never grown them, but I'd guess
that if it had a strong smell that should give it away?
