What kind of flower is this in my yard?

there is a flower in my yard that is the BEST smelling flower i have ever smelled. it's a very sweet clean smell and the bees love it. i did not plant it, it is in the middle of the grass. it grows about three or four inches tall and has semi-grass like foliage. the petals are white and there are five petals on each flower. The throat of the flowers are a pinkish light marroon... what is this flower? i looked on google....... but no luck

Hard to say without a picture. Possibly Zephyranthes (commonly known as rain lilies), except these traditionally have six petals.
Reply:Not seeing the flower, it sounds like a crocus to me. If you go to www.bhg.com/home/Crocus there will be pictures of some.
Reply:How about a pic?
Reply:Maybe Star of Bethlehem...
Reply:Wild onion? Leaves are accute (long, slender) without serration. The umbelate flowers do well as cut flowers, but the onion fragrance will compete with the flower scent.
