Mystery bulb, possible Ornithogalum, from Atlas Mountains

Alberto suggested Urginea. Another possibility is Asphodelus,
flowering after the leaves have withered. The latter would have had
long, narrow leaves.

This latest one is from Robert Hoel, who writes
"In early October we were hiking in the foothills of the Atlas
Mountains about an hour west of Marrakech when I realized we were in
an area where these flowers were all around us. The flower reminds me
of a type of Ornithogalum but there was no foliage."
