Is this Allium of some kind?

[jindarose]

The bulb itself is a single pretty hard &  solid (like jicama), has a thin white covering, no layering.  It sent out roots and sprouted readily over water, but I don't recognize the early leaves.  Not sure if or where to plant it until I know more.

It looks like a Hyacinth.  If the folige when bruised smells like onions it may be an Allium.

[CG100]

Buds look far too big for hyacinth. Hyacinth bulbs are also generally nearer spherical and seldom completely without colour entirely.
Allium seems unlikely but possible, although quite a few closely realted bulbs (Tulbaghia for instance, which this isn't), smell of onions/garlic.

I am not familiar with the plants except in photo's, but maybe chincherinchee?
