Yesterday I found for the first time this flowering bulb in the garden - any ideas what it could be? Weed or gem?

An Ornithogalum ?..... but which?
This is yet another genus which is a mystery to me!

Thanks a lot - so I will keep it!
Never had seen it before
- so I was not very sure to which genus it belongs (Maggi - Ornithogalum was also my first thought
)

pssst - Gerd, please do not tell it to loud - now I know it is native here

Good to know it is a 'gem-weed', it could set seeds for everyone!
