This has come up in my garden. Have never seen one like it and have no
idea what it is. Any suggestions?

The flower is about 1" long, the size shows in relation to the Cyclamen
Persicum around it. It is spring here.
At first I thought it might be an aberrant C. persicum flower, but Randall
Link's suggestion that it of a romulea made me take a second look. That long,
approximately cylindrical foliage is the clue: I too will say that it's a
romulea of some sort.
The color is extremely handsome, I must say. Watch for a seed capsule to form
later on so you can grow more.
