I am going to take a picture and try to figure out how to upload it here :)
They come back every year, have a very sweet smell, long green stem (no leaves on stem) and have a lot of tiny white flowers on the end of the stem. Long grass like leaves come up weeks before they bloom. It sort of looks like monkey grass before the stem comes up and flowers come.

Hi Joni,
Try reducing your pictures a bit so they'll fit.* The one you posted is a thumbnail size.* Your flower reminds me of some type of lily.* What state and hardiness zone are you in? Newt

Just after I posted I remembered it reminded me of a tuberose aka Polianthes* tuberosa, but you'd need to be in zone 8 or warmer or zone 7 with heavy mulch.* Is this it?

I think we are misunderstanding each other here.* You initially said that the pics were too large.* So I suggested you make them smaller, but not thumbnail size.* Try something about 600 x 800 or a bit larger and see how that works for you.
South Carolina has hardiness zones 7 and 8, so it's a good possibility that is what you have.* If you aren't sure of your hardiness zone you can use this zip code zone finder. http://www.gardenweb.com/zones/zip.cgi Newt

Joni, I don't have any as from what I've understood they aren't hardy here.* I've never grown them but remembered seeing them and reading about them on the internet.* The more I read about them the more confused I get.* For one thing, I'm getting that they bloom in August, but some folks say they've had them bloom in January in very hot zones.* Hmmm, maybe you've had a heat wave, and because yours were left in the ground, they have bloomed early.* Another possibility is that you are in the warmer part of zone 8.* I found this from Old House Gardens Heirloom Bulbs.
http://www.oldhousegardens.com/howToSpring.asp#tuberose I almost forgot to mention that some folks say they don't always bloom every year.* So, I'm thinking they are variable in their bloom habits. Newt
