ID needed for this member of lily family

This seems to be in the lily family - looks familiar - but what is it?
It is growing  enthusiastically in a continental garden.

Because of the umbel form of the inflorescence, it is definitely not a member of the Liliaceae.  I would guess it's in the  Amaryllidaceae, but I'd need better looks at the insides of the flowers to say more.

I think you may be on the right track, Herbert, thank  you.

( I was meaning  liliaceae, sensu latu  - we're supposed to do that now, I think?  ::) :-X :-\  )

Herbert asked the same question about a similar plant! http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12341.0 and since the  plant here was also flowering in autumn, I think perhaps Oron's suggestion of  Nothoscordum bivalve var nanum is a good one.   

This link goes to HansJ's pix of  N. bivalve in spring

This plant, flowering in November in Texas : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=8145.0  was ID's as N. bivalve.
