Ken, I believe this is an Ornithogalum (the "Drimia" designation is erroneous) that originally came from UC Irvine Arboretum without data or locality. It is a very dependable little clustering plant for shade and unusual among hyacinths for its softly pubescent leaves. The flowers will open more fully and are star-like. Maybe the Mueller-Doblies can provide a name?
