Most probably Albuca shawii, but very early I would have thought.

I suppose that's conditioned by the time they started to get their first watering. In my case it's usually this time of year, or maybe a couple of weeks earlier, before I have enough space for the Summer flowering bulbs in the greenhouse and I don't start to water until that happens. According to my old picture files it has usually been July before Albuca shawii has been good enough to picture. Try searching the Forum.
