Mike:

That's a great resource.

I think this one is very close to Angelo's Gladiolus.

Scent is a bad ID tool I think. Many people find plants either unscented or unpleasantly while some can smell it and the smell is pleasant.

I find this true with the Muscari macrocarpum.

on Ispot:

--G. recurvus is also supposed to have four leaves, so that may be ruled out
as well.
