Hi all! :D
A bulbous plant I bought this year via ebay would be happy to get an identity.
The 2 bulbs were sold as Eucrosia bicolor but from the leaves it's clear that this must be something different. The bulbs were almost round (a bit flattened) with 5 to 6 cm diameter. They are growing fast since I potted them and are now about 30 cm high (leaf tips). They somewhat resemble tulip leaves in shape and also feel like these (the typical squeaking - hope you know what I mean) but tulips wouldn't start to grow in july in the northern hemisphere, wouldn't they? No flowers so far but little bulblets are sprouting.
I guess the bulbs are some common summer-growing bulbs as they have their origin at a bigger bulb seller and most likely got miexed up. Any idea?

I have no idea Thomas... it looks nice and healthy, though! :D

In a German forum I received the suggestion that it might be Ornithogalum (maybe something like arabicum or saundersiae).
