These are Pancratium Martimum ( Sea Daffodils), they always bloom before growing leaves. Normally they are dormant in summer and bloom as the rains start. I pulled these bulbs out and planting got delayed. These were planted on 9/8/13 on my return. I have offered the bulbs to any one who can collect them from my home.

Brig Saheb I recommend breaking off all buds in summer since flowers take energy away from roots. If you do this (already late) you'll see spectacular displays in the Fall before winter dormancy.
